We're really happy with how this one came out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails below:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eAll tact switches have been replaced with new brand-name tact switches rated for 3 million clicks. They are soft-touch switches that function and feel like the originals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eThe twin 220uF 25V power regulator capacitors and the 100uF 25V power supply filter capacitor have been replaced with new KEMET and Panasonic capacitors. This update addresses the most common point of failure on the Virus B and C series and will help keep this unit functioning properly well into the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eA new power switch has been installed, eliminating another common failure point on the Virus desktop series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eA new Energizer CR2032 lithium battery has been installed, so you should not need to replace the battery for ~10 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eIncludes a brand-new high-quality 9V 2.0A power supply. While the Virus B and C were originally shipped with 12V adapters, We now recommend and ship 9V 2.0A adapters with all Virus B and C units. They allow the power regulator to run noticeably cooler, resulting in more stable operation during extended sessions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eThe synth has been cleaned thoroughly inside and out, including the knobs. There is no sticky residue or buildup commonly seen on Virus units from this era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eCustom walnut wood side panels with a satin finish replace the original rubberized side panels and give the synth a refined look. Note that I am a synth tech, not a woodworker. While these custom sides look great overall, the left panel is slightly more rounded on the front than the right panel. It's hardly noticeable, but I wanted to mention it for full disclosure. We still have the original side panels and would be happy to install them at the buyer's request.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice positive\"\u003eCustom LUX PMVA display designed for improved readability at desktop viewing angles. The display area is larger than the original and looks its best when viewed at approximately a 45-degree angle. Note: The LUX PMVA display can exhibit v-sync artifacts, especially when the two knobs below the display are used. In our opinion, the improved viewing angle, clarity, and size are worth the tradeoff.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product_notice neutral last\"\u003eThere are a number of cosmetic imperfections. Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition. Overall, the synth looks fantastic, but there are a few blemishes in the finish, especially on the front and rear of the chassis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith all the custom upgrades and restoration work completed, this Virus C is well prepared for its next life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSale includes the synth, a new high-quality lower voltage power supply, and free shipping to the continental US.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Access Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399442825334,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/8378\/2006\/files\/1_0f7a3770-d3aa-438e-92a8-381ffa661547.jpg?v=1778636406","url":"https:\/\/captainblacks.app\/products\/access-virus-c-desktop-synthesizer-24293","provider":"Captain Black's Gear Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
