Bit of a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone on here has got a scrap one
of these languishing up a corner in their cellar or wherever ? Owner of a
shop that I do a lot of work for has been given one of these lovely old
units, but the VFD is busted. Other than that, it all seems to work just
fine. It's an NEC 16 character 'starburst' type. Seems its actual number is
FIP16A5. There are references on the 'net, but no one stocking such an item
even as NOS. Anyone help ?

How many times do I have to tell you Philip ? This behaviour just gets you
back on that naughty step yet again ...

Now be a good little sheep-shagger, take your meds that you've forgotten

It's called psychoticaussie****itis. When he remembers to take his meds,
it's quite well controlled. Unfortunately, every few weeks, he forgets them,
and then has an episode like this. Sad, really, because when it's properly
controlled, he can be quite lucid, and occasionally shows flashes of what
almost passes for intelligence in the normal world ...

Thanks very much for that. I put the owner onto it, but I'm not sure if he
is going to be able to get it, as the seller is in the US and we are in the
UK. When he tried to do a 'buy it now' on it, it refused him as not
qualifying for some of the sellers set criteria for buyers, and the one
causing the problem was "seller does not ship to your location". He is now
in the process of contacting the seller to see if he will exempt him from
the condition as it is small and Jiffy-baggable, and ship it anyway. Again,
thanks for the pointer.

Most US sellers will ship to the UK if asked, the problem with offering
Worldwide shipping on Ebay is all the duff countries that sellers are
exposed to. If its a problem I'm sure some of us Stateside can help with

fix next time I'm inspired. There are also various web pages

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.

You can't use Ebay messages to contact a US seller from the UK site?

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.

Arfa

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.

Good to hear you got it all sorted.

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:

WOW! PCM synth (albeit 8 bit) 256 samples, two extra sample cards, MIDI
I felt like a pig rolling in ****! 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:

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:

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.

fine. It's an NEC 16 character 'starburst' type. Seems its actual number
is
FIP16A5. There are references on the 'net, but no one stocking such an
item
even as NOS. Anyone help ?

Still interested after all these years? I've got one.
