Yamaha TX81Z Needs a Doctor

via this auction

"It's in excellent physical condition and it works just fine, except for one major thing, which is an intriguingly distorted output when more than one key is pressed.

I recorded an example of this:

I actually have one with a similar problem. Anyone know what it could be?

Sequential Circuits Pro-One Analog Synth

via this auction
"perfect condition Sequential Circuits Pro One synthesizer, the superior j-wire keyboard version. This synth is in absolutely mint cosmetic condition. I've never seen another one in nicer condition since I've been collecting synths. All keys are level, with zero yellowing, and the original wood panels are perfect with no scratches whatsoever. No scratches, chipping or fading on any of the white lettering or logos. It was never gigged and spent most of it's time stored in it's original box for almost two decades in a smoke-free home. Functionally it works perfectly, all knobs work as expected and keys trigger perfectly with no double triggering. The j-wires have been professionally cleaned recently and brand new rubber bushings from winecountry installed, so the action feels brand new."

DIY Flux Capacitor with Livewire AFG

"This demonstration uses my crude DIY flux capacitor for the Livewire AFG, basically 5 switches and 10 jacks corresponding to the flux cap pins. Two pin pairs are attenuated by two VCA's controlled by the makenoise/wiard wogglebug, crosspatched with the malekko/wiard noisering, which drives the melodic noodling, via a A-189-1 used as a bitcrusher, to perform cheap quantizing."
