CAR BOOT SALE

In the UK theres a long tradition of getting up insanely early on a Sunday morning, and gathering in fields to sell crap to each other out of the boot of your car. No doubt other countries have similar events specifically designed to stimulate the trade in appallingly tasteless china ornaments and Engelbert Humperdinck vinyl.

Back in the day these events were bursting at the seams with speak & spell machines and Casio SK1's, and we've all heard the stories of how someones cousins brother in law found a TB303 for £5. Odd how its never someone you actually know, although we did once get an Akai S900 with the trigger input board for £5 because the woman selling it couldn't work out how to get a VHS cassette into it!

Inevitably over the years of running circuitbenders.co.uk we've amassed a vast amount of odd bits and pieces that we just can't bring ourselves to throw away, so it tends to just pile up in boxes waiting for someone to do something with it. This page is intended to list all this stuff for sale in our own private car boot sale, so hopefully some of it will go to a better home.

PLEASE NOTE: If it says UNTESTED on the details, then thats exactly what it is. This could be because we don't have the ability to test it, or we just can't be bothered. Either way, you pay your money and you take the risk. We can't accept returns on anything on this page and accept no responsibility for anything whatsoever!


RS Data Library 1989: £20 the lot + P&P
3mm cleaning filament
CONDITION:
The folders are in decent condition although there are a few scrapes and knocks here or there. The only minor annoyance is a certain amount of surface rust on the exposed areas of the bases for the ring binder holder things. This could probably be cleaned off and it doesn't actually affect anything. All the paperwork is in pretty much excellent condition.
NOTES:

Three mighty tomes of the RS data library 1989!
They appear to be the internal datasheets for every item that RS sold at the time. An invaluable resource in pre internet times, and still useful if you don't fancy wading through reams of badly scanned and incorrectly identified information on the net, or you need to find a specific old RS part number.


Wah PCB's: £3.50 each
3mm cleaning filament
CONDITION:
All working as far as we know, but untested
NOTES:
Pulled from wah pedals by Stagg, Nevada, Ashton, Meridian etc. They're all the same thing. .

Rocktek Delay Pedal: £10 + P&P
3mm cleaning filament
CONDITION:
Looks pretty much brand new in the box, but its reluctant to work. Sometimes it produces delay, Most of the time not and we don't have time to figure it out
NOTES:
These can certainly be modded, but they've been hanging around for years and we're never going to get around to it. That and we lost the notes for them years ago. Details HERE.

EDAC connectors: £10 the lot + P&P
3mm cleaning filament
CONDITION:
Could probably do with a clean, but they're pretty much indestructible. Some still have wiring soldered in, but that can be easily removed.
NOTES:

8 x 56 pin panel mount EDAC connectors. These are ludicrously expensive to buy so we couldn't bring ourselves to scrap them, but we'll probably never have any use for them.
They all have back boards soldered onto them. On the unit they were salvaged from the 8 pin DIP sockets had headers attached to ribbon cable plugged into them. They could be removed with a decent de-soldering tool, but they do supply easy access to 32 of the EDAC pins.
