[sdiy] FS: Ensoniq ESQ-1 in need of some love

[Kyle Stephens]

Hm? Not at all - it was sold to me as a non-functional fixerupper, and now I'm selling it as the same, having had no luck - I openly am saying *I* made it more broke than when I got it.

The name dropping's just to show I'm not a stranger here, as some may recognize me and some won't.
