What’s next? A Yamaha TS-80 at the Salvation Army?
Congrats on your find, David!
Wow! "One man's trash.." eh?
Really just goes to show that all of us Synth nerds around here have a pretty highly specialised skill set. When you think about it, there aren't many people for whom a vintage analogue synth really is anything but a hunk of junk. Even if someone knows what it's capable of that still doesn't mean they can do anything useful with it.
Makes you wonder how many things like this get tossed in the trash when someone is sorting through a deceased estate.
Do I hear the happy sound of monitor speakers being tortured?
You jammy dodger, you… 🙂
