WTB: Studio Electronics ATC-1

Ebay has them all the time. Not sure how common they are in Europe as the import price was initially crazy steep. Like double what you'd pay in the states. $650 for stock unit with mini typicallly used. $8-$850 including all 4 cartridges and changer. Sold mine with cartridges and changer for $850 a few months back.

I know you guys in Europe and the UK have really annoying import taxes but I don't know why people go through great risk to save a little tax? If your package gets lost or damaged you are completely screwed. Paypal won't get involved in anything that isn't declared for its full sales amount. Everything I sell (records, gear) is always insured and declared for the full amount.

As opposed to the rest of my gear that I've sold just because I didn't connect with it, The ATC-1 and my MC-202 I quite liked and only sold after buying this crazy modular that these guys in Chile built. Each module was kind of a favorite thing from another synth that they tried to emulate. It has an EMS matrix and "trapezoid" EG, MS-20 ring mod and noise, a Serge like oscillator, a Moog ladder filter, A SEM 12db filter with HP, LP, NP and BP, old school analog sequencer bla bla bla... And bananas too so unlimited stacking of outs.

So I felt that the ATC and 202 were redundant. When something else I wanted came up I shipped them out. Basically their sales and some other things turned into a Prophet T8, a JD990 (+vintage synth board) and the DX7IIFD. Three synths that aren't going anywhere.
