The Lexicon PCM70 was first made in about 1988. That's 23 years.
Please adjust your abacus.


** Last time I looked - 23 was still a bigger number than 20.

"Jeff Liebermann isa PITA prick"



I just fixed a Digitech TSR-24 which was first made in 1995. I guess
16 years doesn't qualify. However, my Korg DSS-1 was first made in
1986, which is 25 years old, and certainly qualifies.

Losing your memory as well as your mind, now Philip. You already said that
several times, and you're now becoming even more tedious and stupid than
usual. Take your meds like a good little boy, and piss off, whilst the rest
of us have a good laugh at how DUMB you are ....

Nope. My varifocals are working just fine. It says on the display, very
clearly NEC FIP16A5 although the "1" could also be another "I" or vice
versa, as they appear indistinguishable from each other. The one in the link
on flea bay, is a one-off second hand one, and appears to match my part
number. Archon already pointed me at that one earlier in the thread.
Unfortunately, the seller does not ship worldwide as part of his sale
conditions, and because it is on the U.S. site and we are accessing from a
UK account, it won't even let us mail the seller direct to ask if he would
consider shipping it to the UK. We are currently working on that problem via
a different route.

In the meantime Jeff, if you have a type number for a compatible substitute
display, and a link to somewhere you have found that has them available,
please share. It would be appreciated. Putting FIP1615R into Goggle yields
no results, other than entries from this thread.

It's a tempermental beast of a keyboard, but it makes fine music. It
still has some kind of a problem with two of oscillators, which I'll
fix next time I'm inspired. There are also various web pages
recommending replacements and substitutions which should improve
things. Incidentally, most of the damage was caused by a leaky roof
dripping dirty water into the keys.

I've never seen those. I couldn't afford them when they were new.

However, if you want old reverbs, I have most of a mechanical reverb
box from the mid 1960's. Two pairs of big springs wound in opposite
directions, with a voice coil driver and tape head pickup inside.
Genuine germanium xsistors. I forgot the brand and model. I had it
inside my car for a while. Sounded great until I would drive over a
bump or pot hole.

Well, you certainly used to be able to, but things change on eBay all the
time. I'm relying here on what my mate who owns the thing said when he
tried. He has a shop, and buys and sells on eBay all the time, so is an
experienced user. The first problem that he ran into when he tried to do a
"buy now" was that international sales were not supported by this seller as
one of his conditions, When he then tried to "contact seller", it wouldn't
let him, just putting up a series of questions and answers, I think he said.
Now, whether that is because he has this 'no international sales' thing set
or not, I really don't know. However, we've now been able to contact the guy
by a different route, and he has agreed that he will ship to the UK.

Ah, the pre answered questions thing, totally useless.
At the bottom of that list of options it says "other", if you choose
that it will lead you to a point where you can actually contact the
seller. Infuriating.

Nice collection Jeff. And your playing isn't that bad. My very first
synth was an Octave Cat. http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/octavecat.php

It taught me how all the filters/oscillators/envelops/ stuff interacted
but being purely monophonic it wasn't much more in my hands than a noise
maker.

I traded the Cat for a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5.
http://www.vintagesynth.com/sci/p5.php

Damn! 5 voice polyphony! heh. Excellent string sounds. Striking actually
even for today. Alas no MIDI but hell I didn't even know what that was
back then.

Wish I would have held on to that because they are pretty rare these
days.

In the 90's I bought a new Kawai K1/II:
http://www.vintagesynth.com/kawai/kawaik1ii.php


WOW! PCM synth (albeit 8 bit) 256 samples, two extra sample cards, MIDI
I felt like a pig rolling in shit! Great today for hair band keys, nice
padded strings and horns, raw square and sawtooth powerleads. Wish I
would have held off for a year when they came out with 16 bit PCM.

5 years ago a family member gave me a Roland S10:
http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/s10.php

No internal sampling everything loads through floppy. The belt on the
floppy turned to rubber snot. Replaced, still wouldn't load. Tweaked
the head positions and BINGO, sound libraries loaded. Not a bad little
synth. Arpeggio, mic input to record your own samples. Have a sample of
my one niece when she was a toddler saying "I love you" too cute.

Now my quest is to own a Korg Triton rack. That is if one of my present
keyboards MIDI track well with a rack and there is not latency.

I also own a Casio MG-510 MIDI guitar:
http://www.mariarose.com/casio1.jpg

Very similar to the one in the picture but with 3 single coil pickups.
Note tracking is very good for the age of the MIDI controller. There is
some latency maybe 50ms. It's noticeable but easy to get used to.
It's also a very good sounding and playing guitar. I used it for gigs
back in the 90's. Occasionally layered guitar and MIDI together.
