SOLD - - - early 80s Crumar Stratus Analogue Synth

[UncleMeat]

Having a clear out.

[b]The synth powers up and works, but not with 100% functionality. [/b]

More useful (and fun) as a sound/texture/noise generator rather than a 'playable in a band' instrument. Good luck trying to do a Wakeman on this thing. Tends to produce a sound of some kind or other constantly, hence not much good in a band. Great for 'sound designing' and making raw material for loops, samples, soundscapes etc in the studio, which is what I use it for.

Smells very intriguing.
If you're an electronics geek it might make a cool project, or be worth mining for parts to make your own devices, I don't know.

Lack of space means it has to go, otherwise I'd keep it, it's fantastic, even in it's rough state.

Please note above text in bold. Sold as seen.

£50 ONO (just cuz I have to state a price)

If anybody's interested PM me and we'll arrange something or other.
Make me an offer, I can deliver for diesel money.

Not looking for a lot as it's obviously half broken and doesn't work properly, but it has worth and potential use as a sound generating device (which is how I have been using it) so thought I'd open it up to you guys before I bin it.

Cheers

This must be a first in a FS thread. Could you elaborate..?

It has a strangely pleasant musty aroma to it, and not one that I can easily describe.

I firmly believe the smell is a selling point, so thought I should mention it.

No that should be a smelling point.

[UncleMeat]

The synth itself is the smelling point - P.O.S.
