For sale Emu Emax rack upgraded and restored

2012-09-22 by blchrr@...

Hi chaps, 

Im selling my Emu Emax (original Mk1) rack, seriously upgraded / restored.
Unit has been upgraded to full SE specification.
It has SCSI interface (internal) which is wired to a Zip drive (sits in 
place of the old floppy drive).
Original disk drive has been removed and replaced with a new reliable Sony 
"slim" floppy drive, underneath the slim floppy drive is the scsi Zip drive 
for sample storage, both fit snug- floppy ontop of zip in the original 
floppy drive mounting position.
The original LCD screen has been replaced with a new LED display, which has 
a black background with white writing ontop, which looks great and has no 
noise. Also a brand new on/off switch has been fitted.
The sampler has been fully recapped, all capacitors replaced with new high 
temp parts, was expensive to have all these replaced, but it should be 
reliable for a long time to come! Which is not usually the case with "Ebay" 
Emax, which usually need lots of work......
All buttons, faders and everything electronically is working perfectly. This 
unit has been back and forth for repairs and mods over the last year and is 
now just about as perfect as you'd ever hope to get one.
Comes with 5x Zip disks containing the original Emax factory library banks 
as well as some DD disks with additional sounds.
Also has original user manual and rack ears and a spare Sony slim floppy 
drive exactly the same as the floppy drive installed in the Emax.
Unit is in great condition, the only imperfection is a little rust area on 
the top of the unit, but this is not noticable when bolted into a rack.
Really i spent a lot of time and money on sourcing parts and having this 
upgraded!
Classic 12 bit sampler with a great sound much like an SP1200 in rack format 
dedicated to sampling.
Jammie Logan from this group did all the work to this unit and will im sure 
confirm what an excellent unit this is.
Am asking £500 for it. Paypal is OK but buyer must pay the fees. 

Cheers,
Rob.
