What a piece of CRAP!!!
 
Looks like it would make a nice project for me. The price seems about  right.
 
I did notice in the photos what appears to be an SMS 3. So this one either  
was upgraded at one point by Sound Sales, or a former owner purchased the  
upgrade kit and did it themselves.

Hi Gang, looks sad but not impossible......Good news is it's got an SMS board.
Prob. another Sound Sales bodge from the late  1970's......

I think someone from our Tron List has the initial bid on it....

It's fit for spares and not much else, judging by the photos. I like the
state of the tapes!

oh yeah - i bet those babies sound just great!

would probably be good only to create some oxide powder to sprinkle
on some soba noodles - yummy!

it might have the makings for a decent skellotron?
