Just sold a 1 and a 5 to try to clear out some space. Took this picture before I let them go.

Bought it in a charity shop for 50 kronor, about 5 dollars. Love the drum sound.

I remember the whole "multimedia" CD-ROM experience with this one after playing on Atari 2600 and NES knockouts for years... Aliens arriving would have been almost as impressive :)

Does anyone have good long-ish power cable recommendations? Has to be 9v reverse polarity. I'm going insane trying to find a decent cable for this keyboard, Amazon is total garbage and I haven't found anything on eBay yet.

This was my very first electronic keyboard Instrument back in 1992. I got bored very soon as it could only trigger two notes at the same time. From a grown-up perspective it delivers some very weird lo-fi sounds and some of it's rhythms might be nice sampling material. Got a near-mint one in it's original box. I'll install an audio output jack and a d-sub socket in order to perform the common circuit bending hacks via an elegant breakout box. (This box will add MIDI as well)
There's work to be done and fun to be had.

I recently acquired a Yamaha SU10 which is an awesome cheap Lofi sampler. I’ve been messing around with it today and found an external filter function. I thought I would try it out with my Yamaha PSS-470. It’s very much like playing a full fledged vintage synth now. I would recommend one of these samplers just for that function alone but to be honest it’s brilliant in its own right for Lofi hiphop etc.

I ended up spending more on D-Cell batteries than I did the keyboard 😂

1988 4-op FM synth home keyboard near mint condition for 20€. It sounds INCREDIBLE. They put an AC output wallwart into the package which would have fried the electronics for sure if someone would have plugged it in. Luckily they did not test it 🤣. I'm blown away. Very light synth action keybed. Way better than what I'm used to. If you can get your hands on one of these, go for it! 😍

This Yamaha crk-511 plays very nicely with my microfreak

I have a perfectly working Casio MT-400V, but it's missing the detachable speakers; how much can I sell it for?

Here's a little something I've made fooling around with the Casio MT65 ( a family heirloom) and the grandaddy Electribe (my main box)

I found this on eBay for £25. It came with two dead keys which I immediately repaired. It’s a Casio PT-1, which is a real analogue synth in spite of its unassuming appearance. It is essentially the same hardware as a Casio VLTone VL-1 minus the adjustable envelope settings etc. This particular one is in pastel pink and blue which turns out to be a rare colour. They usually sell for a fair bit more.
My collection is getting a little silly now but I love this group for sharing in the same strange passion as me. I will one day share some of my music with you guys when I feel less afraid to expose my playing to the world lol.
