Today is the TEN YEAR Anniversary of Cyndustries!

via Cynthia on the Cyndustries list:

"Today is the TEN YEAR Anniversary of Cyndustries! Started: February 14th 2002

Our very first module shipped to Ricardo, and was a Modcan A-Series format Gated Comparator module which has since found a new owner...

It is a very special module, it may have a serial number stamped on the back of the panel, but what makes it unique is a sticker of a cupcake with a candle in it and the number #1 written on it.

That is a collector's item to whoever now owns it!

(After the first hundred modules we stopped stamping serial numbers on the back.)

Thank you to everyone who has any of our modules...
We couldn't have done it without you!

UNIVOX E-100 TAPE DELAY

via this auction
via the listing: "Ecellent working UNIVOX E-100. This unit also has Sound On Sound. All jacks and knobs work noise free. Everything works. Cosmetically its in good shape, with only one noticeable flaw in the bottom right corner of the face tolex, you can see it in the photo. Definitely nothing that is to much of an eyesore. Really nice cheaper alternative to something like the Rolands or the Echoplex's. I've used it with Guitars, Synths (analog ms20, sh101, and modulars) to great effect, really works well with a microphone for weird vocals, the sound on sound with this works great for making loops with voice."
