This is apparently one of the early 258v's that Mark Verbos made. There are two flaws with these early models.
- The screen printing is slightly off, so the lines don't line up with adjacent modules as can be seen in the photo. Not really a problem except for those who are OCD about such things.
- Additionally, it's a very tight squeeze on some cases due to the screw holes being a tiny bit off. It fitted in my 201-4 rack without any problems, but in my 24 space system, I couldn't line up the top holes (as can also be seen in the photograph). This may or may not affect other peoples systems, as there seems to be some very slight variation between spacing, and tolerances.
Worst case, you can use it like I have the last year by just screwing it in with 2 screws, and holding it down when removing jacks.
Other than this, it works just fine, and sounds fantastic. It's amazing for deep boomy bass noises, and the FM sounds that come from it are crazy.
I'm only selling it because I have several similar oscillators in my eurorack system, which I turn to for this kind of sound.
I'd love to keep it, but 200e boat space is at a premium :-)"
