"This Oberheim OB-Mx rackmount analog synth was purchased new in 1995 and was played by Rick Wakeman on the YES album "Keys to Ascension" (I was a recording engineer on the project). It has three (3) voice expansion cards, and has been in a controlled storage environment since 1996. Front panel, knobs, LCD, output jacks, etc. are in excellent condition. The memory backup battery expired some time ago, and as a result, all internal presets are lost/scrambled. I do not have a users manual or any documentation. ROM version is 1.04."Title link takes you to shots of the inside via this auction.
My sister's old boyfriend played one of these.
ReplyDeleteHe used to belch in front of his racks and his gear smelled like beer and cigarettes.
His juno106 had some sticky liquid spilled on it too and the sliders were all stuck.
One time he hacked up a phlegmball on the panel of his Akai S1000 and it dripped down and stained the white panel.
It looked like a nose, so he took his pinky and stuck it in his ear and made two little eyes with his ear wax.
Some lucky bloke bought it on Ebay and it still had the little face in the listing pics.
thanks for the details
ReplyDeleteEwwwww. Rick Wakeman. Gross.
