Via the seller: "In this auction we have one of the most tricked out, one-of-a-kind, nothing else like it Commodore 64 computers in existence! I hand built this fully functional mod over the course of 5 months +/- years in stress. So much research, development, time, design and money went into this project and I can honestly say I am super proud of what I built. I am currently in a bit of a bind and my priorities are completely shifted. In short, I am selling off the majority of my studio to be with my son.

Here is a list of all the mods, hacks and work I put into this thing. Please read all of this to understand exactly what it is that I am selling. There are links for you to further research and see more pictures of this build in the text below.

- Mounted nice locking guitar strap pegs
-Added a custom Li-Ion battery pouch attached to locking guitar strap

" Zerosum Inertia ModuleModule 02 - Twin T Bandpass Filter
for Buchla w/ Eardrill ModuleModule Frame

The ZIMM02 is in mint condition like new.
Everything works perfect - no technical or optical issues.

Tube used: 5654, the military version of the 6AK5

Freq: Adjusts filter frequency from right to left.
Res: Adjusts resonance from left to right.

Resonance increases when swept left to right.

The key is to find the tiny sweet spot in between.
Attenuation before entering the 02 is encouraged."
