Members gilwe Posted February 17, 2008 Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 I knew I could do better things with my money rather than traveling to cold countries at this time of the year... Thank you ! :eek: Guys, this one was really funny ! I knew that the guy wasn't happy to sell this beauty, and even hasn't left his phone number on the ad... I sent him an email and could set up a "meeting" this night. Had to let him show me his digital crap for about an hour and hear a few stories, all to make him not changing his mind ! I even had a "lesson" about analog synthesizers :D It goes like this: Dude: "Well, this switch is what makes the noise you're hearing now... You see, this is a real 'analog' synthesizer with real wood panels, bla bla bla" Me: "Thanks buddy for showing it all to me, but I really have to go now, here's your money. Bye" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gilwe Posted February 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think one day I'll just set up a commercial "Analog Studio", which will be all based on vintage equipment. I really need to get a CS80 now. Dead or alive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gilwe Posted February 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 Gee, I always find interesting things when opening these old beasts up. This one had a power transistor floating with no contact with the heatsink at all! It has turned all white. Wonder it still works However, our Juppie had the filter caps and transistor replaced and is now joyful and happy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gilwe Posted February 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2008 Tuning problems... ok it looks like it does have some age issues. Will have to dig into it... Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gilwe Posted February 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 So know it's official: - Rio is indeed played on a JP4, and in general, I think about ALL arpeggios on that album are JP4 (not JP8 as many would say). I can guarantee that "Save your Prayer" arpeggios are 100% a JP4 - Human League's "I'm the Law" and "Don't you want me" bass lines are probably JP4. Also most arpeggios heard on Travelogue - I think the JP4's most powerful side is at its arpeggios and bass sounds. - Generally, I think I'm in love btw, no tuning or memory problems. So far all is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
