Members ElectricPuppy Posted April 20, 2009 Members Share Posted April 20, 2009 If anybody is interested in my repair progress on the OB-SX, I put up a webpage.I'm pretty busy with other projects so this will probably be updated once a week. I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for keeping us all up to date, MC! Also, sorry to hear you had to visit the medicinal practitioners, I hope you're doing OK.

Members Gribs Posted April 20, 2009 Members Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've been away from the bench and the OB-SX restoration project due to a visit to the hospital. Felix knew I wasn't feeling well so he propped himself on my shoulder the day I came home. When I said he liked to perch on my shoulder I wasn't kidding. Funny how pets can sense the well-being of their owners. Mmm, cat butt near nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Numina Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Here is my new baby...And she looks more BLACK to me than the so called "Nextel Blue"! I compared some colors up to the finish and I would say it's a dark charcoal gray color, which I really like. Definitely not "blue", to me anyway.Sounds wonderful.J.

Members carbon111 Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Beautiful synth. Congrats! If it's "nextel blue" the surface will be a very dark gray with an almost "rubbery" feeling semi-matte finish. "Nextel" is an industrial surface coating and not a normal paint. Developed my 3M, NEXTEL Coating is a unique surface finish composed of microscopic neoprene granules in a special carrier medium, the finished coating has a soft warm texture, almost like a fabric. The composition of NEXTEL gives an entirely glare free finish, a matt quality that lasts throughout a long working life. Both my Microwave XT, and now my Q, have this weird finish that was supposedly originally designed for the space shuttle. There was a lot of talk about this on the Waldorf list for years since the debut of the Q in 1999. If your Q has a Nextel finish, its either "yellow" or "blue"...that's just what they called it. If your Q is painted, its either "classic yellow" (a semi-gloss bright yellow finish) or "classic blue" (which is satin gloss navy with silver flecks) - the painted "classic blue" has very light gray graphics instead of orange. Both the Qs and Microwaves went through a number of Knob changes as well during their production life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Numina Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yep, that be it. I love it. Not that I don't like the yellow, but I am quite happy with this color. I love how Waldorf had issued so many different colors/finishes and knob changes for the same synth. Brilliant idea. My friend has an XT with the cylindrical knobs and a plastic facade over the screen, mine does not have the screen cover and tapered knobs. Then they have the clear vs. solid red patch/program knob. - J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Real MC Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Back to work on the OB-SX, with help from Felix. The li'l sh!t helped himself up and I had my camera handy for a self portrait.I think it was a mistake to wear flannel. Cats like warm flannel shirts."MC, there's another bad opamp down there I can smell it burning"Sorry, these were too cute not to share. Back to the new gear.

Members llamastorm Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Despite all the people attacking me for asking questions, I bought an XK-3c to replace my PC3 that arrived DOA. So far, I really dig it... much better than the XK-1 I remember playing at the music store, a lot of fun. Bigger than I expected though, not sure if I'll get the lower manual in a few months or not ($$$). Seems like I need to tweak the Leslie options to make them sound more noticeable, but other than that, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
