lol! good luck i bought a complete working 305 for $160usd
ReplyDeleteyeah, me too actually!
ReplyDeleteI was driving out in the county and randomly stopped at a yard sale,. the dude had the whole kit 7 or 8 pads, the snare (w/ 2 triggers, one for rim), the kick pad, and both the ts-305 and ts-306,. apparently Uncle Leon's Funk Band had gone defunct some years back, and this all had been stored in a barn since. I attempted to just get the synth boxes off him,. alas to no avail. The only way he would sell was together,. I could see a bit of water in the bottom of the plastic bin the pads was in and pointed out that it had rained on them. He said "yup been out here for a few days,.." so I got him down to $150, and took it all.
My brother, and hence his kids, play an old kit in the basement so I shifted the pads, hardware and the TS-305 to him,. however I swapped out all the voice cards so now this TS-306 has Snare, Base, Rim, Tom, Synth, and Clap,. I'll be keeping that one for a while, I am building a sequencer from an arduino for it.
I sent one of the TOM cards to Leonardo Laguna Ruiz of Vult fame (VCV Rack module coder), for him to look at while modeling these old analog circuits. This one is up for grabs, but only at the price I think it is worth to me,. guess it is for someone who really wants it. ( I would ship it for that price! )
I suppose the moral of the story; stop at more yard sales.
note; my price is in Canadian Dollars,. google says; that equates to $226.20 United States Dollars.
ReplyDeletegreat price you'll be banking soon my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these pics. My 306 took a fall off a music stand and sheared the tops off 3 of the red trigger LED's. Apparently the ones that were originally used which are at a 90" angle, are no longer made (LN25RP) and I needed to see if there would be an easy way to just replace with a standard red LED. From the images you posted I can tell that I will definitely need to track down some of these originals from the way they are mounted on the metal frame. Break out the old wallet (for some vintage parts and a more reliable stand to hold the unit in the first place!)
ReplyDeleteWow, I had the same exact thing happen, 306 takes a fall off a music stand (and I had the tilt adjustment as tight as I could make it go!~) and shears off the tops of the trigger LED's. Same thing here with finding replacements....they are out there, but a US based electronics company wanted $56. for 3 of them!! There are a few places in China selling them cheap, but with the shipping it still all ends up in the $50+ dollar range. I have thought about modifying the card by drilling a hole to accommodate a straight-up LED, but haven't had the time or courage to get into that project yet. Guess I'm still hoping a few of these LN25RP's will show up for a reasonable price!
