Selling an SDX...probably...

Selling an SDX...probably...

2008-10-29 by Phil Murray

Hello all,

I'm going to be selling one of my SDX's soon, (no history, not owned by 
anyone famous that I know of).

Before it appears on ebay, I wondered if anyone on-list would be 
interested.  Good working condition, expanded memory, HDD (I think !), 
latest OS, manual, various disks, but no pads.

Would have to be collect only just south of London.

Otherwise off to ebay I go...

Thanks all,

Phil.

Hey Phil ! Good luck on the sale. It costs a fortune to ship those tanks, so hopefully you will find someone locally to buy it at a fair price.
 
Not sure if there's a HD installed? The obvious way to tell is if it boots without a floppy so long as the o/s is loaded. If the LED was installed properly, you should also see it flashing at the lower left corner of the screen. Otherwise look at the bottom right corner of the first screen after hitting the continue button. If you see scsi0 just above floppy0, there's a HD.  You should also be able to tell it's size, etc. from the info menu screen. If for some reason it's not functioning, You can check the bottom of the computer toward the front just in front of the left foot. You will see a square pattern of either 4 screws or 4 holes where the HD is normally mounted. Holes means there's probably no HD inside. If you're a real glutton for punishment, you can also remove the 8 screws just inside the metal frame on the bottom and lift the fiber portion of the console up a little bit to look inside.
 
Ciao !

A handful of rack versions of the SDX had indeed been built (maybe
around 3 units I guess) and were called "X-Rack"

there is only ONE unit that is the Simmons SDX, and it came with a
roll-bar installed! ;)

He's probably wondering if it has the rack stand that the computer console mounts to.

damn - should've remembered those. But asking for one out of three is 
like my tireless hunt for one of (one? two? three?) EDP Gnat Deluxe's 
out there...

Yes you do  ;- )

the XRack ...  about only 5 built ...
You can see one on the Simmons synth site (it's mine took in pics  
before I bought it ...)
The prototype version that went to Frankfurt in 93 ...

More pics available if required  ;- )

Patrice.

Hello all,

Sorry for the delay, photos can be found at 
http://www.philmurray.net/SDX/ HDD is in there but not connected, 
done a quick run up and all seems ok but not tested fully. Anyone 
interested let me know before it goes on ebay next week...

Thanks, Phil.
