... i'm diggin on the DEVO hat in the corner of the pic. so what's up with the DEVO hat? can you say DEVO hat? i can ... watch .... ~DEEEVO HAT~ .... see? easy peasy. now, once more, this time with feeling ...... ~DEEEEEEEEEEVOOOOOOO HAT~ .... there we go, much better.
... ah! you speaka my language! my wife has a 1953 M3 and a 1955 M3. the '55 is named "Morticia" and the '53 is named "Gomez" ..... after Morticia and Gomez Addams of The Addams Family. i have a 1962 Hammond A102 that i've converted to a full blown C3. i've outfitted all 3 organs with line outputs, built in overdrives, speaker outputs to allow the onboard power amps to drive speakers, as well as a number of other modifications. i love real deal tonewheel Hammonds. the A102 cost me $175.00 ... for reals, a hundred and seventy five dollarbucks. i put a new ~start~ switch in it, and the AO28 preamp needed the main power capacitors totally replaced ... literally seventeen bucks worth of caps, and those were high end caps. they'll now outlive me. the A102 was owned by a single family, all of the service documentation came with it, a journal of each time the Hammond tech come out to oil it and check it out for the family. absolute steal. the old woman i bought it from was just thrilled that i knew how to operate it and play it. that alone made her feel so good. some of the preset keys wouldn't stay engaged, and A3 key on the lower manual didn't work. all it took to fix both problems was literally usage! the organ had so little time on it that contacts and mechanical systems were just really needing to be used. after about ten to twelve hours of spirited playing everything worked fine.commodorejohn wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 9:32 pmA 1959 Hammond M-3 tonewheel organ, in very good cosmetic and operating conditionJust need to break out the Deoxit and clean up the drawbars and a couple of the key contacts and it'll be good as new!
let's be clear on terminology here, it's called an Energy Dome.Rex Coil 7 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 10:24 pm... i'm diggin on the DEVO hat in the corner of the pic. so what's up with the DEVO hat? can you say DEVO hat? i can ... watch .... ~DEEEVO HAT~ .... see? easy peasy. now, once more, this time with feeling ...... ~DEEEEEEEEEEVOOOOOOO HAT~ .... there we go, much better.

I don't know if they still sell them, but for awhile with their last album, they had blue energy domes as well. I've also seen DEVO wear an orange version, which I would buy as well if they ever offered them for sale. (Yes I have both a red and a blue one.)Rex Coil 7 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 10:24 pm... i'm diggin on the DEVO hat in the corner of the pic. so what's up with the DEVO hat? can you say DEVO hat? i can ... watch .... ~DEEEVO HAT~ .... see? easy peasy. now, once more, this time with feeling ...... ~DEEEEEEEEEEVOOOOOOO HAT~ .... there we go, much better.

That looks fabulous. That might need to go on my *someday* list (which is really quite the list). Congrats.dml wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:39 pmI've owned several ARP 2600s since the early 80s. I started collecting them at a time when folks were practically giving them away! My dream synth since my teenage years and one of my all time favorite synths. I sold my last ARP in 2006 and have, of course, regretted it. I was really excited by Korgs reissue but the asking price was more than I could afford. I decided I'd be happy with Behringer's version but, while waiting for its release, I discovered Blue Lantern Modular and their BLM 7200 which is very much inspired by the 2600 without attempting to be a clone. As a longtime 2600 owner I am thrilled with this little feller. It gives me that 2600 vibe I've been missing! It has a completely open architecture, so there's no pre-patch, but other than that it takes the 2600's compliment of modules and its capabilities and considerably expands upon them. If you're considering an Arp 2600, but are open to the idea of an alternative system, I highly recommend checking out the BLM 7200. BLM_7200.JPG

Boss PSD-10 - Pitch Shift Delay
Half-rack unit from the 80's. Ordered from Japan (gulp) as UK listings are hardly appearing anywhere. Has a 1/4 in. pitch control input so easy to create some pretty mad sounds (Aphex, VvM, etc) on this thing.
They're absolute tanks. This one came with the service log - bought in early 1960, oiled in late 1960, and then had a tube replaced and was re-oiled in early 2020. Other than the slightly-oxidized drawbar contacts and a couple gummed-up keys, it runs like new.Rex Coil 7 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 10:39 pm... ah! you speaka my language! my wife has a 1953 M3 and a 1955 M3. the '55 is named "Morticia" and the '53 is named "Gomez" ..... after Morticia and Gomez Addams of The Addams Family. i have a 1962 Hammond A102 that i've converted to a full blown C3. i've outfitted all 3 organs with line outputs, built in overdrives, speaker outputs to allow the onboard power amps to drive speakers, as well as a number of other modifications. i love real deal tonewheel Hammonds. the A102 cost me $175.00 ... for reals, a hundred and seventy five dollarbucks. i put a new ~start~ switch in it, and the AO28 preamp needed the main power capacitors totally replaced ... literally seventeen bucks worth of caps, and those were high end caps. they'll now outlive me. the A102 was owned by a single family, all of the service documentation came with it, a journal of each time the Hammond tech come out to oil it and check it out for the family. absolute steal. the old woman i bought it from was just thrilled that i knew how to operate it and play it. that alone made her feel so good. some of the preset keys wouldn't stay engaged, and A3 key on the lower manual didn't work. all it took to fix both problems was literally usage! the organ had so little time on it that contacts and mechanical systems were just really needing to be used. after about ten to twelve hours of spirited playing everything worked fine.
I have Isla's Kordbot. It's a pretty cool little device - I like it's strum capabilities. I predict you'll probably be happy with that purchase...syzygywell wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 10:46 pmWell I had no intension of doing it, but I did. I'd been going round and round about the 1010 blackbox, MPC Live, Live 2 and One and then this popped up in my feed. So I bought it.
I hope you keep is in the loop here as I'll be watching this intently. I've been thing of getting one of these...everydaycurry wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 6:23 pmSpecular Tempus reverb pedal - but the effects loop isn't working. I'm e-mailing with GFI but given the seller's response (nope sorry can't help you dunno never used it) a return is going to be a pain if I can't get it working.
I wish you hadn't posted that and so does my bank account.syzygywell wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 10:46 pmWell I had no intension of doing it, but I did. I'd been going round and round about the 1010 blackbox, MPC Live, Live 2 and One and then this popped up in my feed. So I bought it.
