Yes, I guess I was trying to "detract from your offering." I do have a problem with things being sold with an implication that they're something they're not. You should have been more explicit about what era they were copying, not to mention I take exception to the email subject

Dear SK, >Tim said that they're not original Serge rack ears. He's right and I should have made that distinction. I thought I stated that these were exact replicas of ears from an original Serge panel from the early 80;s but I did not. My mistake, sorry. Not to prolong this but i

Tim said that they're not original Serge rack ears. Your auction text did not explicitly claim that they were manufactured or supplied by Serge or STS, but it was strongly implied. Quote: "Serge Modular Music Systems / Rackmount your old panels! / 2 Rack Ear Set". I would say tha

Sorry to ruin your day, Tim, but this is NOT flimsy crap. I havent got the strength to even come close to bending it and consider these rack ears to be very sturdy. But maybe you like rolling over your Serge gear with a steamroller? > >I'll direct everyone's attention to the ebay

I'll direct everyone's attention to the ebay ad posted at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=894029221 You'll see that these are definitely NOT the type of thing used on modern Serge's - perhaps they're like the flimsy crap of days gone by, but they're not up to

Dear Serge People, Does anyone need rack ears for their Serge panels? If so, I have acquired several spare sets of new ones which I would like to sell for $24.00 plus shipping per pair. Does this price seem fair? These were not purchased from Serge or taken from a preexisting set

Hi, I realized, after I posted the last message, that it sounded like the pictured Serge was built for the museum. It was not. Serge got a request for an early synthesizer for a new exhibit they were going to put up at the museum. He called some people who he knew owned early Ser

Hi Again, The pictured set up is not mine (my Serge is the 9-panel one in the three SKB cases pictured in the photo section). This Serge actually was destined for the St. Peterberg museum. It never made it because the Soviet Union collapsed and they ran out of funds. I have a few

Helllllllllooooooooo???????? Ok, I have a couple questions about quantizers. Anyone use a sequencer quantizer with a TKB? I know the TKB quantizer has an internal connection to the TKB, which is handy. Since panel space is at a premium, I thought I'd ask if it made sense to fake

I recommend that you get a good legit power supply - even if you don't care about tracking NOW you might later. Also if you run the Serge for a prolonged period from PS not set to +/- 12v it would f*ck up the circuits --- a bad thing for resale value. A power supply that is 'too

The power supply connector from the panels appears to be a Molex GC/Waldom .062" Power connector, but I'm not certain on that. I'll have to get better specs on the parts and measurements to know for certain. These usually connect to a distribution board. They would be overkill fo

Get used to it, 99% of my posts go ignored too. Seems owning a Serge and sharing info/asking questions about it doesn't peak anyone's interest. E.g. How many Serge were made using minijacks instead of bananas? No answer. Mine is original and uses minijacks. What is the current po

What does an SSG output when it's set to oscillate? I seem to remember it being around 5V P-P (-2.5 to =2.5). Is that accurate? Romeo on 7/9/02 8:39 PM, John Loffink at jloffink@... wrote: > Serge audio and control voltage outs are 5 volts peak to peak. Black > jacks are centered

2002-07-10 by John Loffink
Serge audio and control voltage outs are 5 volts peak to peak. Black jacks are centered around 0 volts (-2.5V to +2.5V), blue jacks run 0 to 5 volts. Gates and Triggers appear to be around 11 volts output. I haven't tested these to see what input voltage is required to trigger th
