For sale: Another beautifully restored Access Virus B Desktop. We've given this our usual treatment to restore the unit to "like-new" functional condition. There are a few cosmetic issues, but otherwise this iconic synth is ready to go. Details below:

 Replaced all 30 tacts with new high quality, name brand tacts rated for 1 million clicks. They sound and feel great. Everything is very responsive, like new :) See photo #20-21 with all the yellow tacts.
2 wobbly pots were replaced (filter balance and amp release). They worked, but did not have the same feel as the others. New pots work perfectly and feel at home with the others.
 The original Nichicon power supply filter capacitor in this unit was replaced with a new Panasonic EEU-FR1E101. The Panasonic's high ripple current handling and low ESR minimize heat and ensure exceptional reliability and performance for all downstream components in this B Desktop. 
Put a new Energizer Lithium 2032 in it, so you shouldn't need to replace the battery for the next ~10 years.
Includes a brand-new high quality power supply that runs at 12v 3.0 amps (more than enough, meaning it will run cool). This is the same power supply Captain B. uses on his Virus C.
 The power adapter has a 14mm tip and the power inlet has been properly cleaned. This unit does not reset when the cord is wiggled.
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 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 wood sides have been sanded, restained, polycoated, and waxed. They aren't as good as new, but look as nice as they can be.
The user RAM banks A and B have NOT been reset to factory settings. Who knows what treasures (or tragedies) you may find in there :)
 There are a handful of minor cosmetic imperfections. Please examine the photos carefully, as we've done our best to capture everything. The overall look is very clean. Notably, there are a few nicks in the finish, some blemishes on the wood sides, and some rusting on the inner plate near the midi ports (not unusual for a synth of this age). Please see photos 22-27.

As always, we have a deep love for all things Virus and have poured our hearts into this one. It is for sure one of the nicest B Desktops available for sale on the web. With all tacts replaced, along with the rest of the restoration work done, it's well-prepared for a second life with its new owner.

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