Yamaha PSS-480 Keyboard

【Overview】

Used Yamaha PortaSound PSS-480.
Main unit only. Please provide your own 6 AA batteries or
dedicated AC adapter.

It seems the previous owner took good care of it,
as the manual also shows signs of repair.

I purchased it at auction and
enjoyed using it, but ultimately couldn't get used to the keyboard,
so I'd like to pass it on to someone who can use it.

I believe this is a relic of the Showa era,
so I would appreciate your consideration.


【Product Information】

Its unique appeal lies in its weirdness as a toy keyboard with a built-in 2-operator FM sound source that allows for sound creation.

【Condition】

- The panel has minor scratches consistent with its age that are not visible in the photos. The keys are yellowed. There are small scratches on the side of the back of the case. The sponge in the battery compartment is deteriorated.

(Please consider the original box as a bonus.)

- Confirmed that all switches respond in test mode.
