Nice find! After I bought the black sequencer, Erica became one of my favorite Eurorack Modular brands. That sequencer is what all other Eurorack sequencers should be measured by.
Don’t say that, I’ve already been giving the black seq sideways glances.
[hmmm, what else can I sell….]
Being totally honest here. I have the Rene 2 which does great things, but if I walk away for a couple of weeks I have to learn it all over again. I built a 6U cabinet with 2x Doepfer A-155’s plus all the support modules you need. I love it and being able to just sit down and start turning knobs to get what you want is great, but you cannot save your work. The Erica sequencer is right in between. I don’t have to study first, or look things up, I just sit down and start creating. And then I can save my work. 
I fixed (modded really) a few vintage guitar amps for a guy recently. He had been getting shocked while playing them. Anyway, when he came to pick them up this morning he said these were on the way to the thrift shop unless I wanted them. Not really a purchase I guess since they were free. He said he hadn’t used them since the 90s. They power up. Now I have to see if I still have an old dat tape or two in a box somewhere.
those are the studio standard from their day. solid machines. my sony dat died several years ago. the panasonics still fetch a price for the right buyer.
That’s always been my understanding though I’ve never actually used one. Back when I used dats (around the end of that era) I was using a Sony deck. It was fine but I did have to fix it a few times.
I’m not surprised to hear confirmation that these were top shelf, the guy who gave them to me has a home studio that made my jaw drop when I first saw it. He was in a successful hair metal band back in the day (you’d never guess it seeing him now) and while his band mates spent their money on coke he spent his on studio gear. Really nice guy too.
Wow
Craziness!
50th birthday present to myself–thanks to everyone who helped me realize what I really wanted on this thread. OM-28: was lucky that a nice local independent shop had one, since even Sweetwater is out of stock these days…
No keytar?
Is dissapoint.
Nice! I love re-knob projects! It can really change the whole feel of a module or synth.
Happy 50th and congrats! Gorgeous!
What are the caps on the SQ-1? It drives me crazy that the pots don’t even have a marker to see what the position is…
It’s those ones:
And yes, what the hell they were thinking hahaha.
I was able to score (my 2nd) Chase Bliss Tonal Recall RKM. These are now discontinued, so finding a brand new one at msrp ($499) was awesome. These are selling for $700 -$1000 used now. Now I’ll have one on both my gig and my studio board.
