Update: This one probably should have gone up on Matrixsynth-b. The image looked a bit better to me on first look. Something about the reflections and the case. Anywhoo... If you like synth shots, know there's more on Matrixsynth-b.
As always, check out the comments.
Warning! I bought a "perfect condition" 101 and a "mint" TR-606 from this guy and received a 101 different from what was described and photographed, and a very not-mint broken 606.
ReplyDeleteThe 101 worked, but the photos showed a pristine synth and mine arrived with rust in the battery compartment, scuffs, intermittent fault in the bender wheel etc. The 606 Run/Stop button is jammed.
He's shipping directly from China and Japan - despite the items listed as located in Sydney Australia - and obviously has never seen the items he's sending out. I was even contacted by another burned eBayer who bought a 101 listed with the same photos!
He's giving me a partial refund for the 101 and a half refund for the 606 - acceptable to me as I was planning to send them off for modding anyway. But getting the refund has been a drawn out, painful process.
Don't get burned by this guy. His new items seem reliable enough - according to feedback - but he's burning people on the vintage gear.
