This vintage unit has recently had the Keyboard and LCD display overhauled by a professional instrument and electronics technician.

Some synth sounds are still working great, others have become a bit noisey which could be circuitry or component issue.

Includes original owners user manual, in worn but definitely readable condition.

Technician replaced the old faded LCD with a new aftermarket one, and replaced some worn keyboard sensors, all keys now working.

This is something of a collectors', item, and these vintage keyboards are fairly high maintenance compared to brand new off-the-shelf controller or synth. So it is probably only suitable for purchase by an enthusiast.

more info available on the net, eg http://www.vintagesynth.com/kurzweil/k1000.php " the Kurzweil K1000 is a sample playback instrument as well as a synthesizer. Weighed down by its 76-note keyboard, the K1000 boasts many of the same award-winning samples found in the K250 in a 24-note polyphonic multitimbral synth. The famous Kurzweil piano is here, as well as the gorgeous strings and brass too. The K1000 has emulations of almost any orchestral instrument you can think of. And they're great sounding. The popular rumor is that the samples were recorded using members of the Boston Symphony orchestra-and it shows."

The K1000 also has a very sophisticated digital/wave synthesizer engine. "

Standard 5 pin Midi in, out and thru sockets in back of keyboard chassis.

Auction is pickup only, the synth is heavy and bulky, and not willing to let this old darling run the gauntlet of freight. Note that the pickup location is Waiheke island, which is going to cost you around $200 return if you are using the car ferry.

Happy bidding. Payment within 3 working days, will send within 3 working days after payment is received Any questions-just ask
