Vet's Daytime Dive 11/11 - Roland MSQ-700 Found Underwater

Yep... this one officially beats dumpster diving for synths.

"In the shallows, we came across a bunch of pipefish. These guys are fun to play with. They seem to like divers so we hung out playing with them for a bit. As we started to make our way in, we ran across what looks to be a baby Fringehead or baby Sculpin. I am not quite sure so if anyone can make a proper ID, I would greatly appreciate it.

Overall, a GREAT dive!!!

Below are some highlights from the dive:" [link]

Oberheim Eclipse (OB8K) mechanical drawings

via this auction.

"This is a super rare stack of blueprint machanical drawing from the never release Oberheim Electronics OB8K. It was also called the Eclipse. This synth was supposed to be release around 1989 and was shown at NAMM, but the company when through a big change at that time and it never happened. It was the early precursor to the OB-MX.(which ended up being nothing like the OB8K.) There are various drawings for the sheet metal components, knobs, benders, top pressure formed plastic, etc"

Rare Oberheim Source code listing

via this auction.

"This is a super rare stack of source code listings from the mid to late 80's Oberheim Electronics products. I didn't go through all of it, but I saw stuff from the DPX1, and some of the Perf/X products like the arpeggiator."
