Too much stuff, too little time, not enough room, and too many
projects I know I'll never get to, so here's an updated listing with
more stuff for sale. Thanks to all those who asked about the VS-1680
Hard Disk Recorder, but it has been sold. I've got a few references
here, and I'm half of the Magic Smoke Electronics team, so you know
where to find me. ;-)  BTW, located in San Mateo, CA, USA. About
halfway between San Jose and San Francisco. Buyer pays shipping.
Thanks for reading!

********************************************
EMU ESI-2000  $100
2U rack mount sampler. Very powerful sampler with 128MB memory. Very
versatile filters and envelopes (digital, but pretty beefy
nonetheless). Built in 3.5" floppy. Does not include a hard drive, but
can accept many SCSI drives. Check for list of compatible drives.

Ensoniq ESQ-1  $40 (Reduced Price)
Great synth, but needs a new battery and a system reset. Currently
giving me an error message after being off for three months, and has
one dead octave on the keyboard. Needs some TLC, but is an interesting
synth. Has CEM analog filter/VCA chips too.

Zeus Mixer  $5
3U, six input rack mount stereo mixer. Needs a lot of TLC. Pots are
scratchy and it's pretty beat up. It does work, though. Still, would
make a nice sub mixer when refurbished or a neat project box.

Roland U-220  $110
1U rack mount rompler. Same sound set as the U-20 keyboard. Very nice
sounding, includes expansion slot for additional sound cards.

Roland U-20 $60 (Reduced Price and added expansion sound card)
Five octave keyboard rompler. Great sounds, I especially like the
piano. Needs new keyboard contacts, but works great via MIDI.
Expansion slots on back for additional sounds (ROM) and patch storage
(RAM) cartridges. Includes "Pipe Organ and Harpsichord" AND
"Orchestral Strings" expansion cards. The expansion cards alone are
almost worth the price.

Casio VZ-10M  $90
3U rack mount Phase Distortion synth. Very powerful. Like a CZ on
steroids. Not a great interface, but lots of power under there for
tweakers.

Yamaha PSS-460  $5
Four octave mini keyboard. Doesn't want to power up, so useful for
parts or as a project case.

Moogerfooger MF-101 Low Pass Filter pedal  $150
Great sounding VCF pedal with built-in envelope follower. Voltage
control of cutoff freq, resonance, dry/wet mix, and envelope amount. A
few scratches, but looks good. Just replaced the knobs and refinished
the wood sides. Works perfectly.

Memorymoog voice card  $150
Includes three 3340 VCO chips, a nice transistor ladder VCF and a few
3080 chips for VCA and voltage control of resonance. I bought this
years ago intending on making a monosynth from it, but the magic
ingredient is time. :-) I have never powered this up, but have ne
reason to believe there's anything wrong with it.

Fostex Model 450  $100
8 x 4 x 2 desktop mixer. A little dusty and some scratches, but works
nicely. Big and a little heavy, so I'll give a "Local Pickup" discount
of $20 on this one.

ELECTRONICS / TEST EQUIPMENT:
Topward 6303D-10  $160
Very high quality dual tracking adjustable DC power supply. Over $600
new. Two 0 to 30V outputs (3A total), and one 5V out at 5A. Can set
current limits. Digital panel meters for voltage and current. This
will make a great bench supply for DIY work. Heavy, so I'll add a $10
Local Pickup discount on this one too.
