What new booty have you acquired? (Page 33 of 189)

if that memorymoog is in good condition, it's a serious steal.

only ''gear'' here were 2 small bottles of deoxit and deoxit gold.. time to attack some serious mixer problems here..

memorymoog is pretty drama when it isn't modified by lintronics.

Yeah, I'm almost done with Ebay too. Paypal and Ebay's giving everybody less and less protection these days. They used to be really buyer biased so at least someone was protected in the deal but that's gone by the wayside too. Buyers now get snippy if it's not out the next day or in three days, I always give my sellers two weeks although paypal only protects you as a seller now if you get it out in a week (lots of people don't know this, I almost got f***ed once for $1600 when I sent out something 10 days after payment.) Records tend to go out once every two weeks but when it's something serious and paypal doesn't help you at all now it seems if it's a record., I get the big things out as soon as I can. Never longer than a week now.

I haven't lost a bunch of cash but there's been a few close calls lately both as buyer and seller. I bought records for years on Ebay (will never forget when I bought over 200 records of Tommie Sunshine's old electro and disco collection...and some electroclash of the time..don't judge) for about $400 Canadian delivered about 5 years ago. I haven't sold one record of it let's put it that way and records made me nervous but it's nothing like gear. I've been way too nervous as buyer and seller lately. I find message boards way more reliable but there's scammers there too. Usually you have to sell a few pieces of gear before you're legit so don't put out the best stuff first unless you want people trying to get deep discounts.

Ultimately we'd all buy locally. These things really aren't meant to be shipped. I'd probably lose sleep if I was waiting for a CS-80 or a Jupiter 8. I know the people I can try to swoon locally but the people with the best stuff here want crazy money so I go back to Ebay and message boards. Part of slowing down is that I have a number of the synths that I've always wanted now (202, JX-10, Syncussion this week, ATC-1 with all the filters that I got for a crazy deal, Octave CAT SRM, Synare 3 etc...)

I really, honestly just want to save up for a Serge panel (Animal would be nice) or Macbeth M5X with record and gear sales. One last big bang. I'm honestly almost good now, it's time for tracks. But I'm just terrible at saving.

I'll still sell, if you get it out in a week, with a tracking number and a confirmed address you're gold unless you are too stupid to pack instruments properly (there's a ton of tutorials online. that's how I learned.) The exchange rate (Canada to US or Euro) is too nuts not too. And I've found if I price it market and throw in shipping for free (only witrh BIN) it's out the door pretty fast.

I could not possibly be less of a techie. Someone would have to build me one and that's when the cash starts flying out. Techs at my work (work at TV station) have fixed some little niggles for me ( detached PWM on 202, battery terminals for Synare that got ripped in shipping) in minutes for a lunch but if I brought them a bunch of paper and a bunch of parts (they're all family guys) they'd tell me to beat it and I think the fixit shop would be closed down. Not even a money thing, just lots of a time thing.

I like the design of the XL, it looks like it came out after the Micro-Preset or something.

Are the keys better than the older model?

An Teppaz Oscar portable record player from the 60ies. With a little valve mono amp and settings for 16,33,45 and 78 rpm. very cute little thing with a speaker in the lid. Pictures not mine, it looks like it has never been opened before, really strange like a timewarp.

You're very lucky to get an original working Linn Drum. Electronics usually don't last longer then 10 years. You should be thankfull for what you got.
Forget about the midi-kit. It was never designed to be used with midi. That will remove the edge of the sound. Just use a mixer.

wow congrats mule driver!

plikestechno you really need to think what kind off modular you want.
Serge and McBeth are pretty different machines.
I think the M5 is way to big and yeah i am a Serge lover

i got E series, thought the E stands for Edge.
can't find the my bass model on the net (strange)
anyway, i wanted G&L or musicman, but it was 4 times expensive.
the dean was nice surprise. i totally enjoy it.

already played it live and it rocks

thanks dishwashers union

I just clicked to buy this beauty..

alesis mmt8 from a fellow robot. I'm loving it so far, sure as hell beats ableton when it comes to working fast and efficient.
