This synth sold on 11-4-25.
Sold: A beautifully restored Access Virus C Desktop. We've made extensive efforts to restore this unit to "like-new" functional condition. There are a few minor cosmetic issues, but otherwise this iconic synth is in immaculate condition for its age. Details below:
Replaced all 35 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 photos #24-26 with the yellow tacts. 2 wobbly/spent pots were replaced (volume and LFO) They worked, but did not have the same feel as the others. New pots work perfectly and have similar resistance as 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 this C 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 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 inlet shaft and contact have been properly cleaned. This, in conjunction with the new power supply, means this unit does not reset when you wiggle the cord. 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. This unit had 2 aftermarket feet when we received it. We removed them and replaced with 4 new rubber feet. 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 examine the photos carefully, as we've done our best to capture everything. The overall look is very clean. Please see photos 19-23.
As always, we have a deep love for all things Virus and have poured our hearts into this one. It is one of the nicest C 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.
