VFX for sale

VFX for sale

2007-09-06 by gonzinigonz

Hi all.
Im moving and dont have enough space to take the VFX with me :o(
I thought id mention it here before advertising it elsewhere.
It needs a bit of attention (as always..) but it does power up ok and 
you can play stuff fine.
Alot of the buttons have broken but all present, you can still use them 
to push the switches if your carefull. Im sure this could be patched up.
Also i think the PSU needs a recap as there's a pop now and again.
Other than that its in really good clean condition.
There is a VPC-100 cartridge with it as well and a user manual.
Make me offer.
Im in the UK, collection only from the portsmouth area though could 
deliver within reason.
Sorry to advertise here but it would be nice for it to go to a good 
home.
Cheers
Gonz

Hi Gonz,

I'm interested! I have another VFX which has some different issues,
namely the keyboard not working and issues with powering up, but could
possibly salvage the best parts from each to make a decent VFX.

Could you let me know how much you're willing to sell for? I'm up the
road in Guildford, so could pop down the A3 and collect.

Thank,

&y

How cool....neighbors in a world wide Yahoo user group....each with partial functioning VFX's that might be combined to make a whole working one......what are the odds of that !

Re: VFX for sale

2007-09-07 by gonzinigonz

Yes wouldnt that be amazing!
Ive had this synth for a while. It was a non starter when i brought it 
but i fanced the challenge at the time.
Its all pretty much there just the buttons are broken and it pops now 
and again which i think is the PSU.
Hopefully it will be of use to someone.
I cant keep hoarding all this gear.
I must sample the waves out of it though before it goes.
This synth is out there on its own in respect to its sound quality 
twisted sounds.. but all you guys know that ;0)
Cheers

Have you checked to see if your keyboard problem is the usual one? Under the keyboard, the connection between a pair of circuit boards becomes loose.  I

VFX for sale

2011-06-18 by Pete

Anybody interested?. UK sale, Midlands. I'd rather it go to a good home as it's in tidy (though not pristine) condition...no problems whatsoever. Comes with Sound Cart VPC 100 & Good condition Manual.

I'm not in the interest of spamming...if no takers, I'll probably keep it.

Offers?

Pete

I'm sort if interested in the cartridge (though not, alas, the VFX).

Best wishes,

Hi mate. Definately interested. Can you ship to Australia?  And how much are you chasing? Will pay a realistic price including postage. Cheers, Steve.
