This is a Nazi gas jet I thought... as it turns out I'm informed it's made by the crane company who used that logo. I found it lying on a hill near where I was born in Los Angeles area when I was a kid. Just goes to show... everything isn't what it appears to be. Thanks for the person who offered correction on that!

Aurora that took place 11/04! From my yard! (20sec on Vericolor 400 enhanced, but it was awesome!)
Also that was with a 24mm lens on old 35mm OM-10. I've been doing a little digital photography as well. Here's a spider who almost got into my hair when I first moved here. And continuing throught that door the Bridger Mountains

A little picture that gives the general idea of what we observe with regard to the likelihood of species being able to evolve between one another. The white space represents a 'field' of genetic possibilities. Each space near a pixel contains the next possible mutational configuration in various 'directions'. In other words each pixel contains an imaginary number of pixels far too vast to display. So this is purely a qualitative picture. BUt it shows the kind of enourmouty of the possibilities that exist in a qualitative way as compared to the DOTS whose area represents valid observed mutational possibilities within a species. Only a few species were approximated in a 256x256 pixel space just to give the qualitative idea again. In reality these 'dead zones' are even more vast. THIS IS BECAUSE LIFE FORMS are a VERY intricately designed thing. THey require various organs to function in harmony or DEATH occurs. FOr instance you can tweak the genetics a bit and get different eye color. You tweak it in another place and the heart valve doesn't function right. You tweak it even more and the heart wont' develop correctly enough to even get life started! So as far as we know, as you approach the 'edge' of the dots, death and infertility happen EVERY time. So if you believed in evolutionary progression of species any more, you now know that it's purely a blind faith belief. Don't be duped by the pseudo-scientist-religious-atheists of this generation.
Solder art! from Montana. What do you think it looks like?
News Brief

Latest news... I'll be hitting the east coast again in January it appears! Working to get studio things done and repairs in the meantime!
STUFF FOR SALE including analog synthesizers and organs!: (updated 3/9/11)
-----------------------------
The Fender Starmaster is one of the rarest of rare in organs. I've completely repaired this one. It had some defects in the plastic top that I worked over and made it look pretty nice! The case is decent with some edged abrasions and the cover is missing one hasp which I'm looking for..and the other has the fragile part that catches broken. I'm sure an old suitcase somewhere can be scrapped for those :-). But otherwise it's all ready to go. I'd like to record some with it while it's here. The reed sounds are pretty unique and it's got a bunch of transistor filter cards under the keys. A fairly elaborate organ. I also need to make something to screw into the 'knee lever' which gives a harmonic extension that is kind of like having a filter open. Check my latest vid on the Bauer which is build very similar by Porto in Italy. Now I'm told there are more like 30 some of these. I got the pattern for the original stand and I could make a structurally superior one if anyone is interested in having a showpiece that doesn't fall apart. :-). Unfortunately the construction wasnt' great on the original as I witnessed in working on another recently in NYC area.
I've been working on things for a season and haven't sold much so I have a big bag of goodies to open up here. Most recently I completed a Gibson G101 organ that, aside from some rubs in the fabric is in really nice shape. The keys and panel and top are in awesome shape. THe case lid I fixed up so it's integrable at least but the fabric has plenty of wear. I did a goop adhesive and filler work on it and am still looking for any fabric we might recover it with on the sides to fill some gaps. But hey..it's only the top right? The instrument case is really in pretty good shape and ....I guess it's like an old pair of jeans. Given what it is. A little wear look actually gives it more character in a way :-). No cigarette burns in the keys. You'll have to add your own if you want that. Hehe. Anyway it's electronically superb now and I replaced all the key bushings so this thing is something to be sought after for sure. Those are very hard to change on these. The release envelope with reiteration is way cool sounding. I'm thinking of keeping this one if I dont' get a real good offer!
Korg Delta - I did some minor touch ups on this one. Pretty rust free except ON the exposed jack nuts a little. Plays SUPER SWEET. May be the best sounding one I've done. I need to A=B with mine before I let it go. THe ends are nice. Just some smudged lettering in the usual places (volumes and cutoff slider though I've seen worse..much worse :-) People like to move those). $640.00
The Crumar Multiman is the first keyboard capable of mixing brass, piano/clav, and strings. I was immediately impressed by the warmth of the sounds. I really things it's one of the most undervalued string machines on the market. It uses the same initial sound generating circuitry as the famed Solina above. SAJ110 dividers. But it has a lot more stuff including a MOOG FILTER!! Yup. Crumar ripped off Bob's design like many companies (eg. the Murom radio Aelita, a russian synth setting on my own Lambda in the link above!) Anyway rather than explaining it all again just have a listen to this very unit! I've put an Orchestrator in it's place which isn't much different. They added a string timbre control and individual sliders for the piano/clavichord. But otherwise the same machine pretty much.

btw I did do the repair on the lfo :-). This one is a lot cooler looking with the quality plywood sides surrounded by the original plastic edge trim. $440
Sequential Circuits Split 8- I have a couple of these fixed up (one is sold). Fairly rareish japanese made 8 voice CEM3394 based units with the ability to split/layer 4 voice sections. Also polymod in layer mode. Kinda cool for a 400 dollar synth!
Yamaha SK-20 SK20 - These are good hammond emulators with leslie hookup in back. Internal leslie sim but of course nothign like the real thing so it's great to have the port! The polysynth uses the classic IG00156 vcf from CS80 etc. The string footages are good for thickening up the sound a bit. Split either way. This one is in great electronic shape and mechanical shape. There was some rust through on the rear edge and around the back a bit and I sanded and used rustoleum primer and a professional body paint over it. Looks sharp back there now. Few minor scratches in yamaha logo but would look good on stage. The front panel is decent enough with very few abrasions on lettering etc. Finish is a bit dull though and it may have been affected by the humidity or whatever. But seems stable. I took down and touched up a few spots that looked like rust was behind them and it wasn't spreading it appeared. $440.00
Yamaha DX7. The classic. The sides took a little damage but strengthened up with goop and got it all working good again. RV goop actually improves the functional strength but of course it looks a little funny close up :-). But the front is fairly decent. It's got E!, the memory 10X expansion and functionality enhancement for 380!
Ensoniq SQ1+ . Good shape. VERY easy to use sequencer! Early 90's digital sound. Good starter synth. w/soft case/manual! Also a little goop repair on a cheek corner but nothing major. -$230.00
Crumar DS-2 The original Digital oscillator synth with an extra LFO and poly section! These are flat out awesome. I have one that is rusty and I'm keeping it if someone wants to take the fairly nice one. it has no lid but it would be easy to make one for it custom. Definitely worthy of being kept in great shape! The instrumentation is cool. Look at the page for it on my global synth page above! -$1100.00
Contact me asap and I'd ask that we get some securing payment via paypal that will make it so I don't wind traveling around with units that I don't have a firm buyer on. I'll be delivering a load of stuff to buy/sell in Eugene also so you might check to see what they have in the analog realm after I hit town there if you are down in Eugene! (Juno 60, another polysix, a Hammond monosynth 102100, a rarity, and a cz101 and 230s). Check out my vid on that hammond synth. Really cool sounding.
17 each Mac formatSyquest 230MB cartridges. Will beat any price.
Ultimate support A-Frame stand. This holds an 88 key plus some with the current pipe lengths. Great for setting up a controller keyboard and Laptop side by side and of course one could easily build a shelf over the top using a couple support pieces that attach down a ways from the top on the rear pipe of the A frame. I just have no room for this in my setup since I already have a specialized control center pretty much with a stand I built up years ago. $40.00
Roland MKS-30 MKS30 - I always try to keep one of these around for sale and use one in my mobile rig. Great warm sounding machine. Less complex sounds than the 70, but more punchy attacks. PG300 often available on ebay. These use the valuabe JUNO modules. THe problem with buying one on ebay is...half the time you get sacked for a loss. People sell you ones with modules that go back after many hours of playing. It's happened to me multiple times as I was harvesting chips from them. This one has certifiably good lot number chips and all checks well on extended playing. - (I'm temporarily suspending sales til i can finish my memory expander for these! If you want one have me put you on the list. I'm trying to get an idea of how many to make. The problem with these is lack of storage for sounds. I figure if people had 32 or so banks of sounds with high reliability battery that recharges when powered on, they wouldn't care much anymore. Though I'm still thinking of ways to i/f with PC to get infinite storage and editability. But I think most users would prefer just reliable local storage; especially people with PG300's already!)
Heil Sound Talk box Diaphram - New. This fits the newer model The old one is different I found out the hard way so I'm stuck with this until someone needs it. -$35.00

HERE IS A LIST of stuff we just got in 4/08 from Tucson. I'll add things along the way as I test them out but the following Items I've already tested or repaired and are ready for sale. Feel free to make reasonable offers, bearing in mind that I've gone through these things to make sure typical problems like broken jack solder etc. is taken care of so they are good serviceable units unless otherwise noted.
Vox Organs, Farfisa Organs and parts! My friend Paul has purchased a large number of these units which you can see in the videos on my youtube page. Just look for "Paul's vox organ project machines" and the Farisa one next to it in the list of my videos. We did a little video overview of them to give an idea of the kind of stuff that might be purchaseable. Paul's number is 720-849-2323 and call him to negotiate pricing. Many other parts machines came in this deal and I've absorbed some of the ones that are just good for keys so see my parts page on the global synth link if you want to get parts for synthesizers in general but Paul also has a few Roland D series units, a U20...I just tested a D50 board today that works great! They key movements are of course dead on them. I'm working on a solution to restore these old rubber key contacts for good. I've had hit and miss luck with the solutions I've gotten from other places.
See the Global Synthesizer Tech assistance page and view the parts link to see lots of parts for sale including soldering supplies, semiconductors, and keys for most vintage synthesizers!
The following is a bunch of intelligent search string info related to actual site content that the search engines refuse to pick up in my meta tags for whatever stupid reason! Note I didn't put Pari$ SChmilton or any other slutty anti-role model in to draw hits from people who aren't looking for the information on this site :-)
