Subject: Anyone wanting an SDS-800? (110/115v

From: scott@...
Date: 2015-01-07

I have two of these, which is one more than I really need... Anyone here interested in taking one off my hands?


Also, I'm not sure what a fair price is - any suggestions about that?


I retrofitted rack ears onto it using the original screws. Unfortunately it's not a museum piece - it has some oxidation/pitting to the finish visible on the front, and three of the knob caps are non-original (2 greens are a close match, 1 blue is darker than the original though). The plug is pulled away from the sheathing a bit, but it's very secure and there's no exposed wire or anything like that. But it sounds great, and the run generator is a lot of fun:

I have a Phi Tech Translator 2 I can include with it, for the person who would want a MIDI to trigger option.


all my best,
