[MyDanish21]

This moron does not deserve to own such a beautiful instrument...He hasn't a clue what to do with it?!

[ianrussll]

Fantastic!

[nvanzoeren]

In 1 word. WOW!!!!!!!

[Jimster666]

[necro2607]

WHOA.  nice!!!!!!

[rymndmxwll8]

god, so cool, i love it .....lord i love it ...

[zedster911]

brings back memmories of living with my parents... when synthesis was simple... no millions of patches... you could remember what the patches were.... no computers... just an AKAI tape deck used as an echo unit... bliss... and the analogue power... you look inside these boxes.. and there is nothing there!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thecowsmarco]

Mat you are one lucky man, id take this over a hot wife any day..

[michal23pl]

i flagged this video as a sexual content ;)

[kriz716]

I Dunno Ebay $1000? C'mon ebay sells used bus tickets for more than that.

[AusDisciple]

Wow! I thought I was lucky getting my System 100 (101, 102, 103 and 104) in it's original boxes for $400..... but mine wasn't unopened like this one!!! That's an incredible find!!!! ....and I agree that these synths sound AMAZING. Mine is definitely NOT for sale!!

I have a clip of mine connected to my Roland V-Drums on my other channel... add this to the end of the youtube watch url.... CUaXtKuNsig

[pomfrit93]

Amazing scoop mate! :D

[shaft9000]

dry rot's a silly concern - but i'd get the capacitors replaced. whether it gets used or not, the electrolytic caps dry out after 30 years or so. this makes it get noisy and out of tune. you'll have to do it sometime in the next ten yrs anyways, so you might as well save the trouble of finding out the hard way.

[malthus101]

What a totally sweet find! What an awesome addition to any studio! So lucky!

[zedster911]

i remember opening all those boxes in 1978 when my parents bought me the Roland System 100 for my 21st birthday

[willmasahiro]

Wow. you don't just come across an unopened sys 100. A man has to suffer an untimely death(before opening it!!!!).Then his surviving relative must die too. Fianlly, the unopened sys 100 reaches the market. Wow, fucking tragic/good for this dude

[MyDanish21]

@willmasahiro But he's a "techno master"...lmao

[ledheavy26]

So lucky, fuck. I wish I found that deal for a 1000 bucks.

[kingaldo71]

Damn I am so fucking jealous!!! That Monster is SICK!!!!!!!!

[buchla300]

Incredible!

[jdrukman]

unbelievable find! congrats. i've been playing with a system100 the last couple of weeks and they are incredible machines.

[jondon24]

man, what a score! lucky you (or him). Looking at some of these comments though, I never realized there were so many nay-sayers and negative-people on youtube :)

[thunderheart530]

no more nib videos for me.

[COMPACTASS1]

BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nudist0885]

Except that this stuff had been sitting around for 20 YEARS unopened.

Who's to say that any of it still works?

There could be so much dry rot in there that it's not worth scrapping for PARTS.

[harten74]

Not the case here. This took place in 1999. I was out in LA a few months ago with my friend Mat (who still owns the synths) and they work like a charm. "E" for effort on the buzz-kill though.

[whitepapagold]

You are a dumbass... seriously...

These system 100s work FLAWLESSLY to this day on a regular basis...

Dry rot... Right... What is it an old shack?

All I want to know is what did he pay?

[whitepapagold]

This was to nudist0885

[TurkBack2]

Holy carp! That is beyond mint condition.

[disconnect4]

gasp. what's next.. an arp NIB? a fairlight?? i'm heading out to some estate sales in kansas.

[YuckTV]

That must have been one fun afternoon!

[fuckingharpsichord]

crazy story...

good synth !

[LeonardRockstein]

looks pretty new to me. One thing though, probably needs a service. sitting in a hot old attic for 20 some years of unstable humidity and roaches possibly running in and out of the thing....must need an inspection at least.

[HarrisonFnord]

propably felt like opening a time capsule.. one friend of mine also got his (full system 100 unit) almost the same way.. darn!

[noizy4]

I found a unopened boxed Yamaha PSR home keyboard at a Woolworths sale. Is that worth anything?

[violinguy1234]

You've got to be shitting me.

[Simontre]

This is just an amazing story...do you know how the guy died??

[harten74]

Nope. In all honesty, I do not know if it is a true story. It is what the estate broker that put the item up on eBay told us and he seemed beliveable.

[Jauly]

anyway... HARDCORE GEAR PORN!

[Jauly]

OMFG tell me.... what is the problem, matter or whatever of today to produce affordable monosynths whose sound grumbles FAT like this beast? all new ones I know (maybe out of the voyager or little phatty) sound chirpy chirpy cheap, but this old rolands (not moog!) have stomache...

shame on you, who know ;)

[dalasv]

A-mazing. Every synth nerd's fantasy.

[cephal0p0d]

I swear I hear someone fapping in the background.. not that I blame them.

[cephal0p0d]

SHITFIRE.

Good score!

[roetsj]

Magic!,porn to my eyes,I envy you,congrats!,it sounds so nice.

[sleestack]

thousand dollars off ebay? I find that hard to believe. Was this back in 99 you bought it?

[LyndonTCorbett]

Agreed! I'm calling BS.

[dalasv]

Yeah, if only he had some video proof or something.

[sleestack]

wonder how he died?

[acidchild]

Killer score!

[MontagsKino]

Jesus

[RyvonDJ]

amazing... history preserved in a box.
