"Not what I wanted to happen, but here is a garage sale of two classic NED Synclaviers. Both are sold as seen, but in generally very good cosmetic condition, and believed complete. They come with huge amounts of literature, disk drives, cabling and peripherals. The cabling will need a lot of sorting - and it's possible some of it doesn't belong to these machines, and that not all cables are present. 1.) Believed to be a PSMT 3200, with beautiful VP/K keyboard as used on the T8. Stacked full of circuit-boards, so believed to be a pretty high-spec version. Classic synth / sampler imported to the UK about 20 years ago from a west coast USA studio. It arrived safely (not cheaply) in its very solid flightcases, but then disaster struck. I plugged the keyboard in, and switched it on - not realising that the 110V box I had used was only a 110V extension, not a 240-110V transformer. Result: a damaged power supply. Two 550-mile round trips to Tony Allgood solved that and made the V/PK good again, but by that time the rest of the system was in storage. So the V/PK was put into its flightcase too, and left for all these years. 2.) Synclavier II, with ORK keyboard. This was serviced by Hideaway several years ago, and tested working with a donor board from another machine. I was given the task of ordering a replacement board, and have failed to do it. 3.) HOP box and DO-1 interface - a diagnostic tool originally for the Synclavier I but apparently should work with the Synclavier II and PSMT. Please see the photos for what you will receive (there are probably a lot more disks, manuals etc not photographed). Some manuals may have suffered a bit from damp storage. Most of the NED items have their original flightcases, and the other items - Macintosh, printer, cables, literature, disks - will all be packed very well. The whole lot will require packing on two pallets (150GBP) unless everything can be delivered or collected by hand."
