Re: [PolySix] Re: Problem with Trident MK2 Signal Generator

Hi,

still no news, still very busy with University stuff.

I'll try to link the information I got with the experience I aim to get.

Selling an MK2... yeah. Maybe not a good idea. But to be honest, the
device seems not that reliable and I need something that does the job.
Still the analog sound is extraordinarily! However, it is the only
reason to keep it.

So in case I'm selling it I'll post an announcement here. BTW, I'd sell
a custom made solid case togethet with it.

Best,

  Niels
