Update: Production has started.

You don’t have to pay all in advance - THIS IS A DEPOSIT PURCHASE at 30% of total price and is on offer at present.

This is a first, it’s not been easy, but we are getting ready and are now accepting pre orders !!

There are many others on the way too ( Jupiter 4, TR-909 etc )

This is the opportunity to purchase a brand NEW replica replacement Jupiter 8 shell part of outstanding quality and accuracy.

Based on 3 different Jupiter 8’s we have developed this project and offer it on a build to order basis.

No matter if your keeping and treasuring, or selling on, this WILL add value beyond it’s price.

Pictures and illustrations are of prototypes and contain errors. Also colours differ. Final colour is shown next to end block of an original Jupiter 8 at the end of the pics.

DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN UK. WE RESPECTFULLY INFORM THIS IS NOT A FACTORY ROLAND PART AND IT’S PURPOSE IS FOR RESTORATION ONLY

What is included:

This is the main top panel and it comes complete with x3 inner strength bars spot welded as originally with threaded screw mounts where needed. It also benefits from a high end powder coat that is fine and an incredible close match of colour ( within 3% ) This is then silk screened by hand using faithfully accurate artwork that is within 0.2mm tolerance.

Other parts, such as end cheeks and screen, aswell as base etc, will be sold separately. ( NOT INCLUDED HERE )

Please note, there will be a slight difference in colour to your existing base / bender panel etc. However we have no worries of comparing to original.

Why is this ?

1. Original paint degrades differently, subject to light, and how it has been cleaned and cared for.

2. Even today, paint batches differ by a small degree.

3. This is fresh, vs your old paint

A FULL kit will be made available once all parts are in production.

This is made to order, they do cost, I’m sorry, but between 1 and 10 is expensive to make. A headlight or bonnet for a Ferrari F0 is a lot more !

If costs come done, we will revise our pricing.

If, however you wish to bulk order from a facebook group etc, 10 or more, please email craig@sweetdiscrete.co.uk for a quotation that would benefit from multiples in production.

This would allow you to keep your existing Jupiter 8 ‘ original shell’ and potentially mount it on the wall or in a display cabinet in the studio.

Synthful bodies will also be making cool display cabinets for this purpose in due course.

Please note:

This is a deposit purchase at this stage that will place you in date order for production.

Payments:

1. This deposit represents 30% of total price.

2. Once production is about to start, you’ll be informed and invoiced a further 30%.

3. Once production is complete, we will send you photos of your new panel and invoice the balance + shipping to your location. The shipping charged on initial order will be deducted from the overall shipping to you.

You now don’t have to send your prized possession half way around the world for Sweet Discrete to restore, simply swap over your electronics and away you go !

All artwork is meticulously recreated and several skins are made to lay over as stencils to ensure accuracy of original. Any original factory flaws will be tastefully corrected ( very minor things ). There is different artwork on different Jupiter 8’s so we ensure it’s your style that you get. This is for Original but a fully custom colour scheme with additionally provided vector art is possible to do also, please enquire.

Please note that the colours will look more vibrant as they are fresh and NEW. Every attempt has been made to get the base black correct, however, the original are painted direct to metal, this is powder coated and as such its NOT orange peel, but does have a shimmer to the surface when compared to original. If you want yours painted, we can, but it won’t last as well.

NOTE:

LARGE batch orders of 10 units would reduce prices by around 15% if you have a Facebook Group that wants to batch order. We can take each order up to the 10 if informed of names prior to ordering and credit back the savings. If more than 10, please enquire first.

Thank you
