"Next find :) my another MC-505 project from the beginning of 2000 year.
Based on this excerpt, few years later I made track 'Astral Vision' that was placed on Atonal Waves album

Moog Polymoog 203a with Anvil Flight Case SN 1955

"Low serial number Moog Polymoog 203a which powers up but does not seem to make sound. However, it's in very good physical condition and comes with a hard Anvil flight case and the original metal legs. It gets warm in the power supply area, so guessing replacing that may help the issue. The Anvil flight case has old disintegrating foam inside so it will need to be removed and replaced with new foam. Someone fix it up to it's former glory!"

"Jen SX1000 Vintage Monophonic Synthesiser Synth. Circa 1980 Rare, made In Italy.
The circuitry is original, everything is working as it should - Great condition! The usual minor surface wear as you'd expect from a vintage synth, but in general great example! Grab a bargain, these things are rare and sound amazing. Amazing alternative to the Moog bass - super fat and warm. It's getting harder and harder to find these in good condition! Please view the attached video where I run through the synths features."

"Cult classic Groovebox.
Usually working but glitching occasionally. All sections functional but unit freezes occasionally, but keeps playing. No controller (foot pedal or keyboard) included.
Seems to function fine after it's been powered up for a while."

Vintage AK Drummer CRM-260 Drum Machine (made in Korea, 1980) w/ Original Box
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

You can find demos of one in previous posts here.
"Rare and vintage drum machine AK Electronic Drummer Model CRM-260 with the original box and a brand new compatible power supply!
DESCRIPTION: The AK Electronic Drummer Model CRM-260 is a small but solid build Rhythm Box from the 1980's. The machine was made In Korea and was selled through AK (a german electronic shop, like RadioShack) and also sold as Conrad Drummer Model CRM-260.
The Unit offers 8 mixable presets rhythms: Trot, Waltz, Rock, Slow Rock, Disco, Cha Cha, Bossanova and Rumba. The CRM-260 has two knobs for VOLUME (red) and TEMPO (blue). Two buttons on the front are for POWER and START. A red LED above the start button shows the first measure of the selected rhythm. On the back there are two standard jacks for PEDAL/FOOT-SWITCH (pedal not included!) and OUTPUT and the DC-9V Adaptor jack.
Curious: when none of the rhythm is selected, the CRM-260 still plays a very simple rhythm. It's also possible ''mixing'' the rhythms by pressing two or more buttons simultaneous."

rare birds: Dynacord Magic 370 spring reverb [& Korg Mini Pops 120]
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by ohm_studi_ohm
This appears to be the first one to be featured on the site.
"this is a quite rare spring reverb built by Dynacord in the late 60s. As minimal as it can possibly be: a black box with only a socket (input/output) and a gain level. Not even a power switch ! This particular unit was fully recapped and it sounds very nice, deep but quite bright for a spring reverb. Tank is a Accutronics one and electronics is only transistor based. The pot is not a blend pot but a gain level. As you can hear you can get the unit to overdrive quite easily. You need to set the unit as an aux to your mixing desk or soundcard. If you plug an instrument directly you will get wet sound only. In this demo it is connected to a RME babyface as an aux, and I used a Korg Mini Pops 120 (btw for sale here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305744488287) and a Roland SH-101 as source materials"

Note the listing is for the Minipops only.
"classic Korg Minipops 120, the last drum machine from the Mini Pops serie. Unit was serviced, partially recapped and calibrated. It's in fully working order. Unit was also slightly modded: the balance knob which originally acted as a kind of EQ (boosting bass on the left side and high on the right side) is now acting as a HI Hats / Cymbal volume (like it should have IMO) so you can totally dialed off the hi hats / cymbal and it allows for more rhythmic variations, perfect for those breaks."

Synthesizers for Dummies (if you're wondering what a synth is, then this video is for you)
video upload by Espen Kraft
"Synthesizers for dummies. In this beginners tutorial I will teach you the basics and in less than 22 minutes you're on your way to becoming a synth master. Even your mother will understand this.
This video has been requested for years, and it's finally here.
THIS video is for you that knows NOTHING about synthesizers, but you've heard of them. You've seen them, and you want to know how they work. Maybe you're to shy to ask questions. This video is for you.
When you master the basics of a synth you can pretty much use all synths.
In this video I show what is known as subtractive synthesis.
The synth I'm using in this video is a Roland Juno-106 from the mid 80s. You can also get this as a computer program and use it directly from the computer, hooked up to a master MIDI keyboard.
The end music uses only synth sounds from this particular synthesizer. The drums are not from the synth though.
The graphic caricature drawing of me is designed by Creation Loading.

Synthesizer Tutorial for Beginners // Synth Programming 101
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Follow this on any synthesizer. Whether you're got VSTs, hardware, vintage or modern, synths covered in knobs or menu based programming.. this will show you how to tweak your tones or start from scratch. Over 99% of synthesisers use the same fundamental building blocks and the secret to programming synths is that they're all pretty much the same. Learn the basics and everything else falls into place.
In this I demo the classic synth architecture, called subtractive synthesis, which has just 4 essential modules. Oscillators, Filters, Envelopes and LFOs - you can produce loads of tones without even and LFO... but I kept it in as you see them on pretty much everything.
I use a Juno 60 to start as its got everything clearly laid out in a knob per function so you cant go wrong. I also show bits of increasing complexity on a Moog Minimoog, a Roland Jupiter 4, an UDO Super6 and some menu diving on a Roland Juno DS.
If you watch this from start to finish you'll have all the basics you need to pick up any synths and get programming."
