[sdiy] Matrix 6 questions

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hey Greg,

Thanks for the manual. I appreciate that. I'll reply privately with my
address.

Yeah, I am the same Tim Servo. I've been a real ebay freak lately. You see,
I'm getting married, and some relatives gave us some money. My fiancé said
that I could take some of the money and spend it on synthesizer stuff. Ain't
she the best?!?! So, between ebay and Digi-Key, I've pretty much got all of
my budget spent. :)

HOWEVER, if any DIYers are bidding on stuff and I step on your toes PLEASE
LET ME KNOW. Unless it's something I've absolutely GOT to have, I'll gladly
back off and not get into a bidding war. I'm especially a freak for
Oberheim, ARP, and CEM stuff, but I rarely see anything that I can't live
without... Although I did get this nifty old Oberheim DS-2 digital sequencer
(friggin' museum piece but its all over the Larry Fast "Sequencer" album and
I've always wanted one), and I got a Matrix 6 for $70 (deal of the decade)
because the guy thought it was broken. 

Anyway, maybe we should all chime in with our ebay names, so that we will
recognize each other and not beat each other up. What the heck, I'm also
going to give my location because I've always wanted to see where other
people are from. Feel free to add your name location, and maybe we'll make a
big member list.

Happy Holidays,
