Re: [Doepfer_a100] university modulars

2009-04-24 by masada wilmot

Well I am the owner of a dual cabinet S-P modular that came from Univ 
Utah. I have a couple of pictures at
http://www.lazyblueoctopus.com/html/studio.html
Is it the one you saw? The previous owner got it for a song at some sale 
(maybe a university sale but I forget) and made a nice profit when he 
sold it to me.

There is also a pic of my Doepfer to keep this on-topic.

Those darned students managed to rip the electronics out of a couple of 
the modules (now just front panels with controls fitted but no PCB) and 
one of the triple EGs had been rebuilt with some monster student 
wirewrapped *digital* PCB (I powered it up but got nothing but smoke).

After a little repair work it's a very fun toy to play with - especially 
the double sequencer setup.
