"Rare Un-potted Submodules!!
No Epoxy!!
Only the Orange & Black 2600's had these serviceable modules but, NOT all them...just a handfull before the end of the 2600's production."

More myths about the 2600 passing as fact...
ReplyDeleteThey actually stopped the epoxy modules during the grey faced versions. I know because I've seen them. All the black and orange were designed without epoxy modules. I'm not sure where in grey faced they stopped but I think it was towards the end but they are definitely out there.
They didn't stop all at once, it was a rolling process. You can find late grayfaced 2600's with a 4072 filter (unpotted) and unpotted VCA, but having all potted Oscillators.
ReplyDeleteTo call unpotted submodules rare is misleading. AND, the auctioneer is admitting that the filter may suffer from the cut-off frequency problem unless it has been modded with the extra resistors to correct the problem.
Broken sliders, intermittent keyboard action, components in need of cleaning... If the price were reasonable this could be a good machine to fix up. But a starting bid of $6000 for a synth that has been misrepresented as "rare"? That's just shameful.
ReplyDeleteRARE?
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many Arp 2600s were produced from what, 1971 until 1981? 10 year run.
There are easily 1000+ Arp 2600s in the world.
You want rare: Buchla Music Easel. There are no more than 20 in the world.
Speaking of myths:

This myth gets repeated over and over.
