Oberheim OB-1 Mark 1
in Excellent/Near Mint condition
S/N 178
Made by Oberheim in Santa Monica, CA, USA in 1978
A true classic, enhanced.
There were only 100 of these Mk 1 units made a year, and only from 1978-79, so priced accordingly.
100% functional: all keys, buttons, controls work
Recently serviced, calibrated, and upgraded by Analog Synth Service (early 2020) in Oakland, CA
So this OB1 has better-than-original functionality, as it has the upgraded Tauntek Programmer board, which adds the following features to an already powerful synth:
1) 64 programs (8 banks w/ 8 programs each)
2) Programs are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. No battery needed. YAY!
3) After a program is loaded, only controls that have moved are "live", so patch editing is now possible
4) Manual mode forces all controls to be "live"
5) Comes with 24 pre-programmed patches, which can be over-written later if you chose
6) 20-turn trimpot for easier one-time oscillator tuning adjustment
Regarding cosmetics, this is near-collector's grade if not so. See pictures for details. It has a small scratch under the pitch bend lever, and there is some minor wear to the conductive silver paint, but otherwise a fine example.
