Re: [xl7] new XL7!!

2008-02-01 by Atom Smasher

this looks really close to new. on close inspection, i was surprised to 
see some wear around the MIDI out jacks... but that's the only sign of 
use! all of the patterns are blank.

it's odd, though, that it needs a folded piece of paper under one of the 
bumper feet to keep it steady... there's almost a 1/4" of wobble.

the data-wheel is a bit jumpy... i'd check the archives for how to deal 
with it, but the search has been down for a few weeks. should i just shoot 
some contact cleaner into it?

btw, there's a "new" floor model in auckland, but the fools want $3700NZ 
(about $2850US) for it. i offered a reasonable price, and pointed out that 
if it's been there for 7 years with the original price tag there's 
obviously not much interest in it, and the ones on ebay usually have 
upgraded OSes and often have upgraded ROMs... and they sell for 
$300-400US. they said they'd drop the price to $1700NZ (about $1300US) but 
i told them i could still buy 4 of them on ebay and have them shipped for 
that price.
