“Studio Clear out ! PICK UP ONLY or Arrange a courier to Pick up from my door.

I’ve been hanging on to this and hanging on but its just been sitting in the studio collecting dust –

So it might be of use to someone it probably needs a new display – I have seen them on Ebay .

It comes with a manual ( little bit dog-eared and an optional a box of floppy disks with most of my own collection of sounds

I was quite a wizz on it and would get asked to go into studios for my sampling skills –
It was used to produce a couple of hits in the early 90s –

It’s a heavy old lump and I would guess it would cost about £20/30 via courier – it’s all boxed up and ready to go – but i am not able to take it to a pick up point .” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Used, but fully functional. Screen is dim but visible, hence the price cut. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Unit trips mains when powered on.
Available resources online insinuates this is a PSU issue. So PSU needs replacement.
Beyond this I don’t know what else maybe faulty with the unit (screen etc) so this purchase is entirely at your own risk with no returns, hence no reserve.

Pictures of internals to reference good order, with extra memory and SCSI card pictured.
Switch seems fine and all buttons, knobs have functional movement.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Everything works fine except there is a high pitched whine and display needs fixing. I am 100% positive these are easy fixes for anyone ok with tinkering with old gear. At one point many many years ago I attempted to fix and I wasn’t able to. You will see a newer eBay “easy diy” LED (LCD?) display in there. It has the black cable in holding. I think the original display is still there and this new one was one you just slide over the original…. I’m not sure but I recall that. The newer one can be removed. I’d say just start again…. I stopped working on music years ago and don’t have the time to fix this. I believe the high pitch whine is related to the display inverter but I’m not sure.

You will see the original inverter display cable in photo. I tucked it into right side of sampler where you will see it when you open it up.

I looked at the power supply and it looks good.

Rack ears are removed for shipping to avoid them getting bent. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
