ping- Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 I just stumpled across this guy on eBay:http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/artronicpl/Lots of nice lcds..even some with RGB backlight, that allows you to create a backlight color of your own choice!I havent bought anything from him yet (waiting till he gets the buy-it-now option, which he said would happen as soon as he has 5 points).If anyone buys from him, please let us know if they are good/bad/awesome/etc :) Quote
286 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 My package from artronic just arrived. A 4x20 backlit display. Took me two minutes to get all the way into the package. :D Envelope -> 300 layers of tape -> sturdy cardboard -> bubblewrap -> anti static bag.I haven't got a rig to test the display with yet but it feels solid. Prize was good, delivery quick and packaging excellent. Quote
Kartoshka Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 too bad he doesn't offer any 40x2. Quote

Goblinz Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Just looking through ebay and I found a x0xbox.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x0xb0x-xOxbOx-Analog-Synthesizer-TB-303-Clone-Killer_W0QQitemZ110294551153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110294551153&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14The knobs look terrible, surely the pots should have been trimmed... a "qualified synth/service technician" would have finished it off properly.

Futureman Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 I dunno if it's appropriate to advertise here, but it's ebay, so I guess so?I'm selling off this Prophet 64 cartridge, but then again, if you are reading this here, you'll probably come to the conclusion that a MB-SID is better.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130275577042&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=003RegardsMike Quote
