The ENABLE/DISABLE switch on the back panel must be set to the ENABLE position in order to run all diagnostics routines AND install factory programs into memory.

Restored * Warranted * SOLD Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 w/ MIDI
Image:
This restored and warranted Prophet-10 with a working original built-in Poly Sequencer and factory MIDI kit installed successfully completed our restoration process and was SOLD. This Prophet-10 serial number 0322 was rated in excellent electronic and near excellent cosmetic condition. The cpu & audio electronics were calibrated to factory specifications, tantalum capacitors in the power supply were replaced, and a new memory back-up battery was installed along with factory programs. This Prophet-10 completed well over 100 hours of operational burn-in prior to shipment to assure reliability, and shipped in an original factory roadcase with casters.
The Prophet-10 and all Rev 3.x Prophet-5s use the exact same analog voice board. The exact same powerful & warm analog sounds that can be created with two Prophet-5s can also be created with one Prophet-10.
The Prophet-10 is 110/220 VAC voltage selectable, and the sale included an operations manual, removable AC power cord, Diagnostics ROM set, & certificate of warranty and 45 day warranty period that covered both parts & labor.
