send me your wishlist...

send me your wishlist...

2006-04-07 by Roy J. Tellason

I used to work on a ton of this stuff,  last closed up my shop in 1992,  but 
going back before that to oh,  1977 or so which is when I went to both ARP 
and Moog for some training.

I don't have a whole _lot_ of parts,  and much of my service data isn't handy 
to me here (but will be at some point later on),  but if you're looking for 
something feel free to email me and we'll work something out if I can help.

Tech questions?  Just ask in here...

You too heh?  Get a "real" job? I closed up my shop at about
the same time (~1991) and I sold or gave away almost all of my
service manuals and parts (doh!) and now wish I still had them.
I do have my catalogue of EPROM contents finally on my hard
drive (hard to find a 5 1/4" floppy these days!).  My real job is
mostly doing 8-bit firmware these days (8051 etc) and some
hardware/project management and it's fun to dabble in the synth
stuff again.  What's your new gig?

If I could find something that used any of my skills,  yeah...

This job market sucks lately,  and I've been out of work since June of 2003.

I have a very few.  And am not particularly looking to get rid of them,  
unless I can find some more...

Ain't got one (see above).

The last job I had started out as data entry,  only because I can type 
55-60wpm,  and that didn't last...

Oh,  and I should mention as an addendum to the oringial post (since I've 
already received one email about it) that I don't have any ARP sliders.  :-(

Wish I could find a solution to that one,  too.
