Roland Jupiter 8 - Eight-Voice Polyphonic Analogue Synthesizer.
In very clean condition. An excellent example that is currently wired for 240V and has been modded for MIDI capability via an external Kenton box (included).
Full assessment by James Walker below - needs a service but essentially working.
Tech assessment 29 Feb 2024 by James Walker
Unit is currently wired for 230 volts. It has a custom transformer. The mains lead is the original US one with black, white and green wires. The power supply has its original smoothing capacitors which should be replaced.
The spark suppressor capacitor is only rated for 125v. This needs to be changed to become safe and compliant. Also the mains EMI filter is only rated for 125 volts. Again this should be replaced.
Voice 5 VCO 1 is being modulated by VCO 2.
Voices 5-8 ,VCO 2 all have bleed through from VCO 1. Sounds like a cv from the lower module controller is faulty.
VCF keyboard tracking slider needs cleaning or replacing.
VCO 2 range switch is very dirty
Top B key is cracked
Lots of dirty pots, sliders and switches.
Needs the neoprene dust covers replacing
Bender pot very dirty
Replace all Tact switches
Auto tunes ok
Excellent with very few marks/scratches/wear. See tech report above..
