National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm + Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb

Published on Mar 10, 2015 SubTokyoShop

Here's something you do not see everyday. This is the first post on the site to feature the National SY-50 rhythm drum machine. I'm not sure if National is the model name of the SY-50 or a sub-brand name from Matsushita/Panasonic. If you know feel free to comment. Curious if Moby knows about this one. If you spot it in the video there let me know. I created new channel labels for National & Matsuhita. There are only two previous posts that mention Matsushita.

The following is the video description:

"National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm + Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb

National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm is very rare rhythm machine produced by Matsushita Electric Co., (Panasonic) in early 1970's. National is a brand name belonging to Matsushita electronics, who are better known outside Japan under another brand name, Panasonic. The "Touch Start" switch is not working (guess no one alive because of the structure), then put the start cable out of the back panel. It start when touching this cable or using foot switch.

Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb is in Excellent Condition."

JÜRGEN HAIBLE Subtle Chorus (Roland Dimension D clone) part kits

via Tobias on AH:
"Hey you guys,

I'm going to offer sets for the Subtle Chorus main board and the BBD board.

Project details:

http://www.jhaible.de/subtle_chorus/jh_subtle_chorus.html

http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26527

For those who are going to build the Dim T or Dim TD version I suggest the Tau part kits from Bridechamber. Scott is a cool guy and does a perfect job.

IMPORTANT: I won't be able to ship part kits before mid january, as I do have a job ouside of town until then. But of course you can order those from now on.

Main board:

This is the TL072 version part kit. I won't offer the vintage kit, as especially the power transistors are not that easy to source in larger quantities. Same for the HA1457W.
At least I didn't find a supplier for those so far.

Main board parts kit contains all parts per Jürgens BOM, no panel mount parts.

Price: 77 (~ 109 us$)

BBD board:

This kit also contains TL071 / TL072 instead of HA1457W.
The BBD and Clock chips (MN3007 and MN3101) are original NOS Matsushita/Panasonic chips, and the compander chips are NOS Philips SA571.

BBD board kits contain all parts as per Jürgens BOM, no panel mount parts.

Price: 118 (~ 166 us$)

Shipping: small parcel via DHL
in Germany: 5 (~ 7 us$), insured 8 (~ 12 us$)
Europe: 8 (~ 12 us$)
Rest of the world: 14 (~ 20 us$)

As you can see the prices in us$ are estimated. That is because there was a little bit confusion about exchange rates lately, so I'm going to charge you in . This way you will get the correct daily exchange rate.

Please send your order to:

ts-parts (a t) web . de

(you know how this goes: name@ etc...)

Please include the quantity and type of kit in the about line

(like this: Order for 2 Subtlr Chorus BBD kits...)

I will send you an email with all details about payment and other information. If you're paying via paypal you will also receive a paypal invoice.
