For Sale

All in MOTM format....

Synthtech MOTM 120 Sub Octave Multiplexer.........250$

Blacet Research TM2050 Time Machine...............400$

Wiard (sort of) #3 Standard Wogglebug.............220$

Blacet Research Dark Star Chaos 2000 (not working)....120$

2 Blacet made Frac-MOTM conversion panels..........20$ each

There's a story behind each of these, but basically I'm selling them because I need more
room in my modular, and I never use these modules. All are in perfect working order
(except the DSC), and have only the usual wear around the screw holes. I'll include a power
connector for each module. I have perfect feedback on ebay (sduck409), and will accept
paypal (US funds). I prefer to ship to US or Canadian addresses - shipping is included in
these prices for those, ask me for other places. Please - all correspondence about these
off list - sduck409@...

The 120 is built by me from a kit I bought from Paul some 3 or 4 years ago, and I've used
it probably less than 10 times, mainly to make sure it's working. In fact, it's just been a
nonpowered placeholder for a while, but now I need the space. Comes with the printed
manual.

The Time Machine is the MOTM format version that Blacet produced in a limited run a few
years ago. Pictures -

Again, built from a kit, but I made some stupid mistake during construction, so I sent it to
Blacet to fix and calibrate, so it's set up to factory specs. The output is rather low and
noisy, which is normal for these units, so while it's fun to play with, I hardly ever have it in
finished patches. Comes with complete docs.

The Wogglebug is built from a PCB I got from the Electro-Music DIY forums, and is behind
a panel I designed and Front Panel Express made. Selling because I'm making another one
with a panel I like better (color!), and I don't need 2. Pictures at

The docs for this are all electronic, but I can provide what I have via email to anyone
interested.

The Dark Star Chaos is an odd bird - I bought this as a kit from somebody in Australia
about 5 years ago, soon after they had been discontinued. It was the third or fourth
module I ever built, and while it's gone through periods when various parts of it or even all
of it works, it currently doesn't work, at least not completely - the oscillator and gate part
work now, but not the noise part. Originally the noise and gate part worked, but not the
oscillator; I checked all the solders and connections once a while ago, and for a while the
whole thing worked, then it got intermittent, and now the noise part is gone. So it's
probably just a matter of getting all the connections to the various chip sockets working,
or finding the bad socket, but I've lost interest in it. As far as I know all the chips and
parts are functional, but this is being sold as-is. It's built behind a standard blacet frac
panel, but with 1/4in jacks, and it's installed into a blacet MOTM format conversion panel.
Docs included. I don't have pictures of this module online, but you can see the style of
conversion panel used here -

multiples holes drilled or used)

MOTM style panel with cutout for Blacet Module. Predrilled with mounting holes and eight
.062 pilot holes for optional 1/4" jacks - this is how these panels were listed on the Blacet
order form some years ago when they still sold them. I have 2 I never used. See picture of
the DSC for an idea of how these look - the ones I'm selling are still in the original
packaging, have not been drilled, and include the motm style mounting screws that came
with them.
