If you have $6250 to spare, this one can be yours. : ) Title link takes you there. Shots saved here for posterity."This is a pre- Prestopatch unit. It is an earlier model that has had the power supply upgraded. It is autographed by Dave Brock of Hawkwind. VCO3 works,veneer, needs adjusting (if you want, I like this flaw). This is one of the most musical sounding VCS3 I have ever seen. Many sound like lab gear. The same is true with Minimoogs. That's why Alien Planetscapes and Hawkwind used this synth and kept it in the family."
I don't know if Hawkwind actually owned this synth.
ReplyDeleteWas this his speech synthesizer? Oops, I was thinking of Hawking.
ReplyDeletewho's arse has that been up?
ReplyDeleteseriously, i coulda bought this exact synth for 2500, i knew its original owner.
ReplyDeleteI recall Del Detmar's VCS3 being pensioned off some time ago.....its such a shame that these synths which were originally "affordable" are now out of the reach of your average person and for collectors only ( who seem to produce precious little music and lots of gear porn shots). Ebay has just inflated the price, they seem to go up about £500 a year.
ReplyDeleteumm. Buy a new one?
ReplyDeleteyou ever hear of anyone getting any new ones? plz let us know. web site has been up since 98.
ReplyDelete" seriously, i coulda bought this exact synth for 2500, i knew its original owner. "
ReplyDeleteso was it owned by Hawkwind or just signed by them? I think the later.
the later, it was owned by doug as it says on the back.
ReplyDeleteI think they're claiming that Hawkwind owned it? If so, that's false advertising.
ReplyDeleteI heard of 2 folks getting a new one over the last n years. Don't know them. Just read stuff.
