or, "Cleanout in the Closet of Dreams"
or, "I have a lot of chiptune-adjacent stuff nobody on Craigslist seems to want"
If you want anything hit me at wrbrehm@protonmail.com and we will figure something out. For shipping let's just say +$10 for small stuff and +$15 for large unless it's international or otherwise just wildly different (I'm in NE USA.) It sucks I know but package rates are no joke lately.
And I will work with you on the price! I mainly just want something to motivate me to get to the post office and to recover a bit of what Iwasted invested in these fine pieces. Certainly if you want more than one thing we may haggle.
I will entertain trades.
Sorry if I'm slow to respond, I don't have internet in my apartment (by choice not necessity.) But I'll try to be back to you within a day.
On to...
Chip stuff:
Big Bundle of Atari ST doodads - $25
Stuff I don't need! But not trash! Even though I'm in the US, this is a UK Atari, which I believe should effect compatibility of the floppies!
-Original ST mouse
-"Quickshot" joystick
-25-pin serial cable
-9-pin serial cable male-female
-Joystick extenders (so you don't need to unplug under the keyboard all the time)
-Homemade VGA monitor adapter (just a wire-to-wire box, no cicuitry. Works with certain monitors dependant on scan rate. I will say that whoever had this ST before was no blue-ribbon soldering wiz but it works [sorry if you're reading this dude])
-Floppy cable flipper/extender
-Working disk drive! Epson SMD-380 (Button is missing; you can poke something in there to eject or hot glue something where the button should go. I can't speak to the dependability of this drive since I took it out almost immediately but I DID read and write disks with it and it seems fine)
-About 100 random disks in a box! Games, music software, word processing, magazine disks, who the hell knows? No, I did not test these. Aesthetically they look good, but, they're floppies!
MIDIjoy interface - $40
This is the very same piece available on Kitsch-Bent at the moment, so you can check it out over there. Never used, or even programmed. Intended to allow MIDI talk with a big variety of Atari and Commodore consoles.
Gamepark GP2x - $70
That's right, the True OG LGPT platform of dreams. The glass bezel has a crack, which doesn't effect functionality or seem to be growing after a year. But yeah.
Chip-adjacent stuff:
SOLDMOTU Fastlane USB MIDI interface - $15
Cable Bundle - $10
-4 serial MIDI in various lengths
-10' stereo 1/4" (two mono 1/4" male at each end)
-2 little 1/4" patch cables (like for guitar pedals)
-8" 1/4" patch cable
25' XLR cable - $10
SOLDAudio-Technica M50 (I believe) headphones - $20
Basket Case Synare 3 drum synth - $40
...is literally a self-contained drum. Like a UFO. Produces sound but that's about all that can be said for it. Replaced all electrolytic caps and most ICs and symptoms did not change at all. I also added a DC connector so it can be run from wall power. These seem to fetch at least $300. There is one important RCA chip yet to be replaced. Maybe an instant drum synth? And who can speak to the quality of my soldering anyway? I would also point out that there is a complete solder kit for $130 so you could build that and use this as the shell. Nobody has to know.
Arturia Microbrute - aesthetically bad - $100
I might be jumping the gun on this because I need to take it home tonight and give it a thorough test. It's seen a lot of backpack abuse. I'm also hesitant to get rid of it because it was my first board, but I know someone on this site would use it for good. So let's call it a tentative.
Who-even-knows-but-worth-a-shot-stuff:
SOLDSuzuki M37C Melodion - $50
SOLD60's Hohner green soprano melodica - $20
SOLDWooden Hohner soprano recorder - $5
Moek 2-key tenor recorder - $120
I'm conflicted about this because I thought it was about the coolest thing I ever saw when I bought it. But it's not being played... Maple. Greatly resembles the "Rottenburgh" model that they now sell, with some differences. Of unknown age, but old. Some scratches but not too bad. Someone applied wax to the inside at one time and I think it should probably be smoothed out with a brush or some such. The cork is good, and the keys are good, but I think new pads are in order. When it warms up it's hard to get the lowest notes. But I'm bad at recorder.
Act fast and receive your choice of Gameboy cartridge: Super Mario Land (Oh! Daisy,) Qix, or F1 Racing. While supplies last!!!

Hopefully this isn't pushing the envelope on forum rules; I think it's general-interest enough. I have some chip-related stuff that I can't use and don't want to go to waste. It's hard to imagine finding anyone IRL to take an interest unless it's simply a video game console. I used to have some luck with the classifieds over at chipmusic.org, but it's been quite dead... what is a tracker to do?]
