via this VEMIA auction"Fantastically rare and sought-after: Studio Electronics' rackmounting and MIDI-ing of the original SCI Prophet 5. Bought new by Ed Starink, and kept racked (with ear protector washers like nearly all his gear) in his immaculate non-smoking studio ever since. Now at VEMIA for ease of shipping (like all his gear). Uses IEC lead (not supplied). Complete with the Studio Electronics two-page manual explaining the key-presses necessary to set up MIDI etc.. In superb condition, with the front panel looking just the same as when it was originally made."
For some reason, picturing the empty, gutted all-wood cabinet of a Prophet-5 always brings me close to tears.
ReplyDeleteOf course we have a Studio Electronics Midimini which was actually made from a friend's real Minimoog, and I've never lost any sleep over it.
