SDS III FOR SALE in UK

2008-04-13 by bubbleman77

Hi folks,

just joined this group as i have come across a SDS III and might be 
looking to sell it. Believe it or not someone GAVE me this synth many 
years ago when i was younger when i didn't really know what i had in 
my hands TBH so it lived in my loft for about 15 years. I had 
forgotten all about it over the years and discovered it again a few 
months ago. 

Its got the Musicaid logo on the back and is in ok nick, a few 
scratches and one nob missing along with two of the little gray 
plastic screw covers off the top of two other nobs. It is fully 
working apart from that.

NOW i know what a truly great/classic piece of gear this is and the 
sheer lack off information out there on the web on them shows how 
little of them are around that are still working. The number of 
people trying to clone them suggests this too. I've looked all over 
the net and have yet to find one for sale or that has been sold 
recently. The closest i have come to finding a potential price was 
one guy in Europe who was prepared to pay 800 to 1000 euros for one?!?

Really i have no idea so im putting this out there to see what the 
situation is before i decide whether to sell or not.
