charity shops are wonderful, if slightly musty, places. i love 'em too.

i tend to find more stuff at car boot sales though. they are my weekly church. this weekend i got another pss-140, a pt-82, an old bontempi, a 'unimax' toy keyboard, a speak and music (rare but not all that bendable by all accounts) and 6 cans of plastikote paint. all that for under £20. result!  ;D

i'm going to try and bend up the unimax this morning before heading back into the recording studio this afternoon. made in 1991 it has a large square chip on it like my beloved hin hon ek01 and should become a monster once tweaked. the bass drum is very odd.

I agree that car boot sales are the best place for bargain bendables, although the charity shop does offer a little more moral value but you do have to put up with the pee-like musk and bearded old ladies.

totally, i feel the love when i find something special in a chazzer.

love the 'cats protection league'. hmmmm. protect those cats!

why is oxfam so rubbish these days though? it's like they know the 'proper' price for everything. the waitrose of chazzers. grrr.

You seem to have more luck the me with the charity shops!  In the last 18 months I have only ever found a single keyboard - A kawasaki with the side crushed and priced at £2.50!  I have given up even looking now, though I now have a great collection of odd crockery, faded video cases, and computer game demo cd's!

Carboots are good; worth getting up early for anyway :)

Akai S900 with full memory expansion and trigger input board for £5 at a car boot sale. The woman thought it was a video recorder! You can just imagine her son / husbands response when she got home. (he says with no danger of being accused of sexism as there is only 1 female circuitbender on the planet so its unlikely there will be any women reading this)  ;)

I know i've mentioned this before but i thought i'd mention it again in order to bathe in the glory of the best car boot find on this board. Unless some bastard has got a 303 for £2  ;D

So Toybreaker's the only circuit bender of a female persuasion on the planet?

I thought Pheobe October was the only female circuitbender on the planet. Whoops!

The ratio on this forum is 1:0 in favour of testicles though  ;)
