A few vintage Serge modules just came up on the bay. As always be careful. Thought this description was a little humorous: "Vintage serge panel #3 with precision VCO, and extended VCF. Powers up and does what it is supposed to do...since you need a friggin degree to work it, I just got frustraded and abandoned it to the garage!!" link
"Vintage serge panel #2 with precision VCO, tripple comparator, dual analog shift registers, 2 mixers, and a VP-1." link
"Vintage serge panel with stepped function generator, slope generator, wave multiplier, keyboard envelope generator, mixer and a ems prestopatch!!" link
No title link, just these three shots and descriptions.
Seems a bit fake with the mixed knobs, handwritten silking on the "Audio Mixer" and "VP-1". Half of the VP-1 seems to be cut from a different sheet of metal and the knobs of the audio mixer overlaps the cut. The knobs are almost attached to the jacks etc. etc. Well, maybe Serge has had quality this bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is how the Serge should look: http://www.carbon111.com/serge.html
But hey, i'm no expert on Serge modulars, so again, maybe the old Serge has a bad quality construction.
You used to be able to get kits from Serge, so anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteI think they r real,a friend of my (old distributor of serge for EU in the past)had a (ugly)system like this to...

Ya, those are real. I can tell they were used in the Bat Computer before.
ReplyDeleteIn the early days, they were selling kits, and normally you would go to their "factory" to collect & build them, under supervision ! Maybe this one was send to an unexperimented foreigner ? Oops ! ;o)
ReplyDeleteyeah, needs a brain to operate a serge. big whoop. sounds like just another excuse for selling broken gear. who is this seller whos been "doing this for 25 years"?
