Today is good so far. My ex called practically first thing to tell me "There's a Korg M1 in the Southern. It's £65. It only just came out today..."
So, a couple of hours later, I am the proud (and temporary) owner of a £65 Korg M1 with Quik-lok stand, manuals, Sound On Sound video, sound disk and some strange quick-reference cards I've never seen before. The Kelso Folk Club are going to buy it (for £65, bah) once I have replaced the battery, but I had intended to stick it straight on eBay.
As if bargain synth goodness wasn't sufficient, my TX416 showed up! I have never seen so many stamps in one place before - 135 little white stamps on the box! No customs fees, either. Woo, I say. The chassis is in better shape that my old one, so for now I'm putting the modules from that in the 110v chassis and running it with a voltage convertor. I will get the other PSU repaired and swapped out at my leisure. It is now built up as a full TX816 and whilst I need a lot of XLR connectors to hook it up, powering it up resulted in no whines, bangs or explosions, but instead a uniform display of patch banks following a very synchronised "CLICK!" from all the voltage protection relays.
And to cap it all, it's really sunny, but cold. The Sera was running beautifully, and I had a nice 140+ dash down the Hawick-Jedburgh road chasing an MX5 (well, chasing, then passing, then leaving for dead after it got stuck behind a truck). On a day like this, the Sera is better than any convertible.
