Hi
I was not being that serious
The 7 was used as a factory demonstrator for around a year before it was retired
As far as I can tell it sat in the factory until the end when it was disposed of
Now the bad news
The case is in very rough order in fact it was so bad it was not until after I gave it a good clean that the serial number came to light
The pads are in good condition but the selector pad the cartridge and the stand are once again very rough
All in all when I first saw it I was not impressed but as it was just about given it I did not complain
It works then it does not then it does usual story
Lots of TLC and it responds with some really nice sounds
Which is why I still have it
I LIKE THE SOUNDS IT PRODUCES
The only reason for owning any piece of musical equipment
Brian

So difficult to say really ...
I'm tempted to tell you whatever people will be ok to pay for.
If it's me ... not as much as you could expect for many reasons.
If it's someone first Simmons kit probably more...
If it's a wealthy & crazy collector...who knows what price it can reach.
An SDS7 stays an SDS7 ... the most unreliable Simmons ever. which means
something, as Simmons's force never has been reliability.
& again we're talking about a 25 years old machine wich means first changing all
capacitors (lifetime is in the red zone ! )
After if it's full loaded you have at least the price of 12 modules inside...
When you say "hand built" ... Ok but what are the brought functions or "Specs"
with it ?
What is the cosmetic state ? amount of hours it's been used ??? state of the
pads ?
did it tour or stayed in studio ?
& so on ... But for me all that parameters should define the Real price & not
the affective or psychologic (sometimes "mental" ) one . ;-)
Like a car quote in fact..
Let us know...
Patrice.
