Despite the fact that i have panels for sale. . . . SALE!!!!
i thought if i could pick one of these up for cheap it wouldn't hurt. These things are over 25 years old. The programmer panel doesn't even have the LEDs or the scale select switches not to mention the goofy and not standard switches that are on the panel. This guy would need a serious re-core job of the programmer section and you can all just about figure what that will cost.. . i asked. And what did it sell for?? sh** . Thank god i was out of town. What a riot. $2800 for each of those. . . was that about right?? And i have 5 panels that are less than ten years old for under 2k and no one is biting?? jive ass i say!!! LMAO!!!
I'm not set up to sell on evil bay, but that's about to change. Methinks i've been screwing myself by being cool ( or thinking im being cool ) by offering to various lists of enthusists at way decent prices and then this guy comes along a gets almost new prices for old stuff. Christ!!!! LOL
.. . . and i even know the guy!! hahahahahaha FANORK~!!!!!!!!
e-bay. . . . here i come!!!!! hahahahaha yeeeeeee haaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww
. .
ok, i'm better now : )
kind regards

While it's the worst photo imaginable for detailed analysis, it seems to me the the push buttons on this programmer are the touch switches Serge played around with in the late 70s (last time I saw them). There were a bunch of them laying around at one point, but the only system i've ever seen them in was Gary Chang's - and they are still there and functional (2 million years later).

These may not be them (again, picture is shite), but they do resemble the touch switches.

Jphn,


Shoot me -but my feeling --> it's cool to be cool and list items on a sale first, but if there are no immediate takers, I don't see anything wrong with ebay. What I usually do is announce that 'before this goes for auction' and give it a set period of time, like a week or something and then it hits the blocks. I''m sorry - but if it don't sell first, are ya cool or a fool for not unloading it on an auction after that?

point well taken Peter and i'm not faulting you for it. I was just venting my spleen so to speak not to mention my amazement that these panels went for so much when others on this list including myself have offered newer better panels (argueably) for way less cash and had them go begging. Actually i was pretty amused was kinda doing a tongue in cheek over the top rant. I'm sure some folks got a chuckle out of it while others just thought that it would be better if i just shut the f**k up!
LMAO!!!

Re: ebay panels/jive a**

The switches on the Ebay sequencer/VCO panel are the standard ones for the early 1980 era, AFAIK. They appear to be the same on a 1979-1983 era university system that I used. The old switches require much more pressure to activate AND have a smaller surface area than current Serge pushbutton switches. I would say they are very inconvenient at the least, and user unfriendly at the worst.
