The one in Canada maybe? I was via a friend in contact with a UK guy who promised to

http://www.electronic-obsession.se/studio/It lacked the "hats" for the slider, otherwise it's close to mint. I've replaced

cables are originals and marked with "syndrum". I'd like a pedal though and have bid

recently with a twin, CM pads etc. Yummie:

Nope... I sold the Twin just weeks ago at circa 450 USD and that was just the "brain".
