Remember the blue Elektron SidStation in this post? Title link takes you to more pics. via jesper of electronic-obsession:"The guy I traded with was the original owner and he had ordered his Sid directly from Elektron in Gothenburg since he lived nearby. Who went over to pick it up and pay and when in their small office he saw an empty blue "shell" on a shelf he asked about it and wondered if he could have that instead. He could... :) Almost the entire batch of Sid's are silver metallic. The exception being ten or so being made for the crew themselves and these are red metallic. (Yes, I've seen one once for sale on a swedish auction site. Not too expensive but not very good looking either. Red was never my colour... anyway...) The other big exception is certainly the batch of 50 (?) of the limited edition series Sid Station Ninja's being black (metallic I think?). It was when these were planned that Elektron asked the maker of the shells
to come up with a few examples of alternative colouring that the blue Sid was born. (Maybe because of the swedish origin?) Since these alternative shells were shelved I've seen another Sid being blue and that was also for sale here in Sweden. I don't know where it ended up... I've talked to Elektron about this and they confirmed the above story with the words; -there sure can't be many blue ones around... Need I say I consider this blue Sid the best I've seen? ;)
electronically yours, jesper"
