"We paid our tech for the 3 hours of time it took to replace all 6 original pots with brand new ones so they would respond better than the old original ones. This is of course reflected in its price. Tested and working well and sounding great. If it doesn't sell, we're going to keep it and use it in our studio."
"This unit's electronics have been meticulously overhauled and important future-proofing measures were taken in an effort to significantly extend its life. This is time consuming and expensive skilled work that took more than 25 hours to complete, but this work's resulted in a Linndrum that works perfectly and should hopefully outlast all others.
In addition to any necessary repairs, here's a summary of the work done to this unit (I probably left something out):
Lots of capacitors replaced as a preventative measure
Power supply / battery board fully rebuilt
Installed new 10k trimpot for power PCB
Batteries replaced
Memory tested
All sliders and rotary pots cleaned
All switch pads removed, disassembled, cleaned and adjusted
Unit cleaned inside and out
34 molex terminals replaced
Replaced 10p molex x3
Cleaned fuse holder and fuse
Burn in test and multiple additional systematic tests passed"
"Roland CompuRhythm CR-8000 drum machine. Recently serviced by our in-house team, cleaned and calibrated and ready for immediate use. Serial number: 101558"
"To help celebrate and mark the 50th anniversary of the original landing of the Music Easel in 1973, Buchla is producing a limited run of Buchla Music Easel 50th Anniversary Edition synthesizers. Housed in a gorgeous powder-blue aluminum ZeroHalliburton case, the Stored Program Sound Source features custom Rogan knobs and a gold anodized Touch Activated Voltage Source for a striking visual impact, authentic vintage feel, and better protection from the cosmic rays. As an instrument, it is unparalleled in its concept and execution."
"Beautiful little drum machine by manufacturer Elgam from Italy, as far as I know it has been built in the early 70s and is fully analog. It contains 7 rhythms that also can be combined by pushing two buttons at once, a volume and tempo control and an on/off switch. This machine is working with 230V.
This unit is fully functional and in a good cosmetic condition with some minor scratches, the wooden veneer on the sides is a little loose but still very OK (see pictures)"
"This is not an amazing ambient music jam I'm afraid, this is just some guy, playing his Solar 42 for fun. I ran my Waldorf Iridium into the Solar via the External Input jack to try it out. The Waldorf was playing an arp sequence with the latch set so it was repeating. Then I played the Solar 42F with the external input coming through and I later overdubbed some Hydra-synth for a bit of variety. I'm not modular patch pro, very much still learning my way by experimentation."
"The Metasonix D-2000 has individual outputs for each drum voice, but it also has a mono output with an 'IT’S TORTURE' knob. When you use this mono output there is serial interaction between the voices, which is part of what makes this drum machine magical. But you also get power supply whine. I like it. For this patch the whine and squeal is gated by a passive Waveform LPG driven by Pamela’s New Workout, which is also clocking the MFB SEQ-1 playing back the trigger patterns. And reverb blended on the CXM 1978."
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Synth nerds shopping for gear will come across plenty of options that seem a little overpriced: generic raspberry pis in plastic enclosures, iconic instruments going for around 50% of the repair cost needed to keep them up and running for the next 5 years and the usual Reverb madness raising the blood pressure of GAS victims all around the globe.
Today we are going to talk about PO-33. While this 2018 lofi sampler, microscopic groovebox and indispensable salted caramel latte chaser is both affordable AND powerful, it might be part of Teenage Engineering’s most perfidious strategy to go EP-133 medieval on your wallet.
