New England Digital Synclavier 3200 with MIDINet n/w

via this VEMIA auction

"Once again, the next auction has come around and we haven't found the time to get this amazing machine running properly. So the answer has to be: reduce the start price by another £500-plus, and let someone else sort it out! Synclavier Europe, based in the UK, will do it, for one - shipping £80 in England each way - and they believe, from my description, it sounds like it is simply that the boot routine isn't working properly. One owner (Ed Starink), and very nice cosmetic condition. We have set it up at VEMIA, and although everything seems to fire up correctly - monitor, main unit, hard drives, floppy, and the NED Synclavier software and MIDInet software - we can't get it to respond, and produce any sound. The chances are that we are doing something wrong (Ed says that the last time it was fired up in his studio, about three years ago, it was perfect). But sold as is, very beautiful, and potentially very powerful, but not tested. Includes: Synclavier 3200 with Processor, 16Mb RAM Hard disks: 80MB and 320MB. 5 1/4 disk drive. Eight output channels. 32 Sampling voices. Mac II, 40MB, with keyboard and trackball. Very hi-res Apple 20' monitor (superb picture!). MIDInet interface - eight MIDI ins, eight outs. Huge floppy library. OS 3.1. Massive amount of original literature. Dongle. Cables. Monstrously heavy-duty 110V converter for main unit, although one or two things will also run on 240V. Delivery by us or collection by you would be best - this is very heavy indeed, and shipping would be a challenge. Certainly not impossible, though, so please ask if you would like an estimate of packing charge and shipping cost."
