Bought this for £15 today - Yamaha PS-1 (1980) full working order original case - total Human League vibes - fucking love this thing.

Ha, you fixed it just as I posted :D

Looks in amazing condition for its age.

Aye, it's as mint as I imagine it could be.

New find £18 boxed - another old Yamaha PSS-80 square wave synth this time... as heard on Katy Perry California Gurls.

Hours of fun.

Love the 80s control panel.

Do these things have any sort of line out (headphone output?) or would you have to mic up the speaker to record them?

To find these gems You need to walk through some “scrap” markets ?
Nowadays is so hard to find any vintage-retro stuff at “oh,it’s old-so,it’s cheap” price.

I got a little walking issue, and all the internet is overpriced (at least platforms..reverb/facebook)
I’m just angry , that’s all :D

This thread is useless without some sounds too 🥸
