Funny eBay Listing of the week: Doesn't get any screwier than This!!!

[Beck]

Vintage Alesis Midi Verb 2 16 Bit Digital Effects Processor | eBay

And remember, if you must drink, don't drink and list.

 

[lonewhitefly]

nothing says "vintage '70s" like the Alesis Midiverb !

... all because the 'Tascam 38' name plate came off ...

 

[Bobbsy]

I like an eBay seller who really (or should that be "reely") knows his product....

 

[jpmorris]

Someone needs to make up their mind what they're selling. That said, even the 38 would have been remarkable to have in the 1970s, being 1980s tech. (Look how dense the PCBs are! And look... the transport control is in a single IC!)

 

[rayc]

Well, that's Ebay for you. I've come across more than a couple of people with no idea and even more shysters.

 

[SteveM]

Did you message him with questions? Like, how do the heads look on the midiverb. If all the play ff and rw functions work?

 

[kip4]

I'd love one of those verbs with the big wheel things

 

[The Ghost of FM]

Hopefully, it will go to a nice home in Nigeria.

Cheers!

After hearing a couple old recordings on these Ampex 350 tapes I decided they were a pretty cool sounding cassette. But $13 a pop for NIB!!?? Vintage Ampex 350 Recording Cassette 60 Min New! Rare!! | eBay

though I guess they must be getting pretty rare in such condition. They've actually sold 10 of them.

Wow...just, wow

 

[jpmorris]

Wow...just, wow

Well, I still think the UMOJC amplifier listing was one of the best I've ever seen. (Un)fortunately there aren't any on sale at the moment, but you do see them occasionally:

 

[Bobbsy]

It'd be fine. Just use the polarity inverting button on your mixing desk.

 

[witzendoz]

Ok, I know it's not ebay but it is kind of analog, I have not been able to figure out if it's a joke or what!!!

Alan.

 

[The Ghost of FM]

That could also be sold as an antique grandfather clock kit too!

Cheers!

Tascam 112 Cass Parts Control Mechanism Position 10K | eBay

10k pot off a 112 cassette deck...only $1,995.00 BIN.

Hm...if that sells maybe I can retire early...

 

[jpmorris]

I think that's the guy I got the MSR-24 headblock from. He doesn't usually pull crap like that so I'm tempted to write it off as a mistake.

EDIT:
Sony Str AV19 Receiver Parts Control Bass etc 50K | eBay

...this one is $19.95, so I suspect he's just missed the decimal place

 

[witzendoz]

A bit like this one, I am sure the decimal point is in the wrong place as these guys usually have good prices.

Alan.

 

[Bobbsy]

Dang. And here I was using that price to work out that I could be a millionaire!

 

[Blue Jinn]

Mmmh maybe flower pot is "decimally challenged"

 

[witzendoz]

Dam I don't have any machine heads at the moment, I could do with a beer.
