Vintage Arp Solina String Machine

via this auction

"The winner bidder can choose between either the Mk2 or the Mk4... See below for details:

Both are in 100% full, perfect working order (and have just been given the once over by the technical team at Air Studios, London)

The Mark 2 has a slightly tougher sound, plus has a switchable ON/OFF chorus button. It is in pretty good cosmetic condition for its age (it has a few scuffs / markings on the wood (especially on either end), although nothing more than you would expect from a 40 year old piece of vintage equipment).

The Mark 4 is ever so slightly mellower sonically and was previously owned by Zero 7. It is in virtually mint condition... It looks like it has just left the factory!"

3XFX mod box

YouTube Uploaded by ISOTROPOSPHERE on Sep 7, 2011

"This is a mod box I commissioned to have built by 3XFX as a companion to a prior 3XFX mod box I purchased on the Bay way back when he was making them.

The mod box also provides a switched patch connection (x4) to assist in triggering bends on my Diabolical Devices bent Casio SK-8 as they dont have a switch matrix on the patch bay like the Tablebeast bent Casio SK-1 and SK-5.

The 3XFX mod box features two LEDicles from Bleep Labs which are controlled by 555 timers and the large dial pots on the box for speed. The LEDicles are also able to be triggered by the pushbutton switch for each.
Each LEDicle has an Opto-sensor below it on the box which is tied to the two rca points below each sensor for resistance bending. Then the 4 way switch matrix for rca bend points on the Casio's.

Korg ER-1 mkII and Korg ES-1 mkII providing back up for the Casio SK-1 bent by Tablebeast.

Just a video showcasing the 3XFX mod box and some experimenting. Enjoy!!!"
