SOLD: "The Most Beautiful B" – a lovingly restored Access Virus B Desktop. We've put extensive work into bringing this unit back to like-new functional condition. There are a few minor cosmetic issues, but otherwise, this iconic 24-voice polyphonic, 16-part multitimbral synthesizer is ready to make music again.

Replaced all 30 tacts with new switches rated for 1 million clicks. They sound and feel great. Everything is very responsive, like new :) See photo #15 with all the yellow tacts.
 The original Nippon Chemi-Con power supply filter capacitor was replaced with a Panasonic EEU-FR1E101. Its high ripple current handling and low ESR minimize heat, ensuring exceptional reliability and performance for this B Desktop. We sometimes use Nichicons, but this Panasonic is of slightly higher quality (though either is fine).
Put a new Energizer Lithium 2032 in it, so you shouldn't need to replace the battery for the next 10-15 years.
 This unit comes with a high-quality 12V 2.0A power supply with a 14mm barrel and 2.1mm inner barrel diameter. This means we get a nice tight fit and plenty of contact to keep the unit from resetting if the cable is wiggled (a common issue with sub-par power supplies). Wiggle away, this unit will not reset.
The synth as a whole has been properly cleaned from top to bottom, inside and out. Even the knobs are all nice and clean. No gross white/funky build-up like you see on most Viruses of this era.
The wood sides have been touched up with restaining, waxing, and polishing. They aren't quite as good as new, but look as nice as they can.
This unit has the 4 original feet from the factory.
The screen is nice and bright w/ good contrast. We have no concerns about it. Down the road, if needed, recommend replacing with a red LUX PMVA.
The user RAM banks A and B have NOT been reset to factory settings. This was someone's synth for over a decade. Who knows what treasures (or tragedies) you may find in there :)
 There are a handful of minor cosmetic imperfections. Please see photos 17-22.

As always, we have a deep love for all things Virus and poured our hearts into this one. It's the nicest B Desktop we’ve ever seen (at least in this decade). With all tacts replaced and the rest of the restoration work, it's well-prepared for a second life.

Sale includes the synth and a high-quality power supply.
