Gotta share my happiness with someone!

[Hollowcell]

Well my japanese has improved a little lately, so I thought I'd check out the japanese only auction sites.

Well...Today my first purchase arrived - an Alpha Juno 2 that I bought for the sum of 70euro/9250yen! Good bargin considering it's cheaper than sending my Alpha Juno 1 from Ausi to Japan.

I have never seen so much vintage gear for sale in one place! At the moment I've got my eye on a couple of sh09s (one with a case and instruction manual), 2 seperate sh2s (one missing a few slider caps, but it hasn't gotten over the 3000yen mark yet), a tape echo (just because it's so cheap) and a sh101 (that looks new, but no one has bid yet)...That's without mentioning the various junos and the sh3As - or anything other than Roland! 8O

So far everybody selling will not ship outside Japan - lucky for me I guess!

I've tried sharing my amazement with my wife, but she just doesn't understand why I'm happy about a synth made in 1979 selling for cheaper than I could take a family out to dinner here in Japan.

Wish me luck guys!

yep, very similar....they do have ebay too though...

id forgoten how much i missed the Ajuno1 still in ausi!

luckily i can still program patches using the patch editor i used for the juno1....ive spent most of the day programming patches!

i really hope i can pick up a good sh09! some gutsy raw bass will be really cool!

EDIT: i just decided to check the auction site again and a SH1 has just shown up for sale! 8O rare little number this one - if anyone wants to get into collecting that is....

the price the guy has set as a reserve is 17,000 us bux! 8O no wonder no one has bid yet!

most roland stuff has been going for half the price that it goes for on ebay! yesterday a sh101 went for 10000yen

No chance to get it sold (unless there's a rich collector). Moog Modular might be that expensive, but not that Roland modular. You could even get Hammond B3 with original leslie with that price.

not that you guys probably care too much, but i thought id show u my latest purchase from the auctions....

its a cs-10 from yamaha...cost me 81euro...there were 2 other cs-10s too...one went for about 50 euro and the other went for about 65 euro....both of those looked a bit dirty (plus a little rust around the plugs) and neither had the hard case or anything...i decided to go for this one instead....



i havent received this one yet (bidding finished late last night)...but judging from the pics its clean and tidy! the guy said its working perfectly with no noisy pots or anything....

hey juho, have you received any of your stuff yet? what do u think of it (if u have)?
