Vintage Synth is a wonderful site for GAS. Horrible for finances. Even moreso when you have an ebay window open alongside it.


Luckily I haven't cracked and bought anything new (yet). It's a good thing I don't have more money, because if I did, it would all probably be gone right now.



yay analog weeeeeeeeeeee

heh, you're lucky... It's end of year bonus time at work and I find myself on ebay looking for all sorts of interesting circuit bent casio keyboards and speak and spells just because the beeps and boops they make are cool.

omg I used to have one of those too!



Speaking of Ebay, on my analog quest I came across a cheap Prophet...like $120. Then I check out the Q&A section just to find out that the guy who is selling it is either a joke seller or actually owns the keyboard but is out of his fucking mind. I would have to share a similar affliction if I were to even consider buying from someone like this. It's disappointing though. =/






Q: Hi, You have two Sequential Circuits Six-Tracks for auctions for the same exact price but with different photos...is this true? Or are you just selling one? Does the sequencer work properly on you Six-Track? And are you located in the USA?? thanks. jim

A: HI ! ! ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! ! !I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH MUSIC AMONG OTHER THINGS ! I'VE COME UP WITH SOME GOOD MATERIAL ! ! ! I NEED TO RECORD MORE..... AND STAY FED AND HOUSED ALONG THE WAY ! ! ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY AUCTION.I LIVE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW....IM TRYING TO GET OVER TO FRANCE ! THE SEQUENCER WORKS ! ! ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! ! ! ! MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ! ! ! GOOD LUCK BIDDING ! ! ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ! ! !



Q: 100% functional? Any scratchy pods? How is the tuning? Keypads? LCD? How do you plan on packaging this classic? THX

A: Hi there and thank you for checking out my ebay auction item. It works 100% and I think you will love it! I get pretty excited when I think about all the possible sounds it can make. The tooth really makes a nice string and the triangle I like a lot. Good organs. I thought about how 2 triangles make a diamond and a square wave resembles a horseshoe. It's a lot like lucky charms serial. Leprechauns running around everywhere. The synthesizer really does the job. I started out needing some money and ebay helped me buy a turkey for thanksgiving and I would like to thank the ebay community. I think that everyone should have a safe holiday season. I like to watch movies and for Christmas I am going to watch a movie. I like to play my guitar. The prophet I like. It has a sound all it's own. I ship it very carefully so that it arrives in EXCELLENT SHAPE. I use extra large bubble wrap ! ! ! I want to do a good job and I like ebay. I want to do a good job on my ebay auction item so that my buyer is satisfied. I think whoever buys my item is going to like it because I like it and It plays 100% It looks fantastic. I think its worth almost a million dollars in value. The maker of this synthesizer is out of business and they made really good items. My item is a really good item and I hope if you are wondering just how great this synthesizer is that you will trust me that it is vintage and really nice. When I woke up I wasn't thinking about my auction and then I remembered and I got EXCITED ! ! ! EBAY AUCTIONS ARE EXCITING ! !

Which Prophet ? I used to own a 600 and it's not nearly as nice as a 5.
Also couldn't keep it in tune....that was the reason I sold it.
Had to keep hitting the "tune" button during gigs. That was back in 1987....

It was the 600. There's a plethora of analogs I'm looking at right now and that's one of the bottom few...it was just such a nice price for an old analog. ;)


Several more tasty deals I'm looking at right now though.
