You can only stack them so high as I like to say. Once I cleaned up the guts I refinished the wood case, detailed it and put it all back together. Despite some efforts it remained silent except for the VCF. I dropped it off to Chris and he gave it a few weeks of very part time attention -mainly due to shipping times of ordered chips.
At the end. Notice it has all its slider caps here. Thanks Doug for the three I needed.
So I’m weak, I admit it -really really weak. Monday evening I saw this ad for a Moog Opus 3 on Craigslist. $400 -doesn’t work. Worked when last tried. About 2 miles from my house. I resolved to call in the morning around 9, hoping it would have sold and I’d have that weird 30 seconds of self reproach for not acting sooner followed by the bliss of carrying on moments later and forgetting. I call -no answer. I start to leave a message and as I’m half way through it they call me back. 10 minutes later I’m getting in the car to go look at an Opus 3. 30 minutes later I’m driving home with it -lighter of wallet, but only 7/8th’s as light as I could have been. Alas.
In all its colorful what-were-they-thinking glory. Missing a few slider caps, crappy looking wood and dirty. Nothing I can’t handle. Oh, and it powers on but doesn’t work -yeah- that too.
