via Reed:"Here's my old Arp cabinet, serial number 70-006.
I bought it in the mid-1990's. The power supply was putting out low voltages, but instead of replacing the power supply, some genius prior owner decided to modify every module in the system to work with the different voltages instead of just replacing the power supply. After my tech person got some of the modules back up to original spec (with a new supply, of course), I used it in conjunction with a 1613
sequencer at home for a while. Neat sound.. not really like a 2600. More boinky-midrangey. I guess the fact that I was using Emu modules to pick up the slack didn't help too much in the boink department.In 2001, after disbanding the home studio, I took the 2500 to the same tech guy's shop so he could restore the rest of the modules' electronics. At some point in the post-9/11 swirl he & his shop disappeared. Maybe we'll all be reunited at some point, maybe not."
Is this one for sale?
ReplyDeleteDid the repair guy leave with your ARP? Or do you still have the ARP?
