Getting ready for a move, so I'm selling lots of my stuff. Kind of a jerk move but I'm going to give priority to people who are buying
more stuff... so if someone is going to buy 10 things I'm going to give them dibs over someone who's buying only a few things. If you want to buy more stuff, I'll cut you a deal too... and if you want to buy everything, that would be awesome and cheap. I just want to avoid sending out a hundred boxes. I'm going to ship everything on Friday August 24th so get in touch with me before then! Local pickup in Pittsburgh, PA is great; I could also potentially bring it with my to NYC where I'm moving and meet up with you when I get there.
Projects/pedals/instruments- Danelectro Psycho Flange "triple thick" flanger, as new with box $25
- DOD FX64 Ice Box stereo chorus, great condition $25
- DOD FX69B Grunge ridiculous distortion/fuzz, great condition $25
- Arion SCH-1 chorus, given to me mid-modification. Seems to work OK but needs some love (and probably a rehouse) to get working reliably. $20
- Digitech PDS-20/20. This one I started modifying (replacing the footswitches, maybe doing a delay time extension mod?) and never finished. As I recall it still works fine. You could just undo all my mods and get this classic pedal cheap. $40
- Danelectro PB&J echo, also probably mid-modification - ready for Sandwich Echo rehouse/mods! As I recall, it works fine. $20
- MXR Carbon Copy analog delay. I was tracing this circuit and trying some modifications and it stopped working, and I moved on to other things. So, it'll need some repair. $30
Now, for a few versions of a the Parallel Universe...
- Prototype #1 (top left). This was a prototype of the second run of these I did, it's a rare version with bonus toggle switches which add a boost and some additional control over the tone. It's build on perfboard and may work. The enclosure has the front design taped on, did I mention it was a prototype? Lots of useful parts if you can't get it working. $30
- Prototype #2 (bottom right). This was another prototype for that same run, but a later one using an actual PCB. I've scavenged parts from this over the years. I expect it will work fine once you put the DC jack, 3pdts, and knob back on it. This one actually has a properly applied front design. SOLD
- Original run circuit boards. These are populated boards of the original, simpler version of the circuit. I have 5 or so, can sell separate, SOLD
- Perfboarded version. This is a slightly more complex version of it, on perfboard, all built and ready to go with a wiring guide. Not tested. $10
- Space-Time Continuum (PT2395-based delay) prototype. It may be hard to get this one working because the circuit is very complex, but I'm happy to help you try. Would also be great to scavenge for parts! $30
- Sennheiser E835 Microphone, doesn't work. $5
- Grab bag of misc PCBs! I can tell you at least that there is an echo circuit from a karaoke machine, some switching boards from danelectro pedals, and some misc perfboarded circuits... $1
- Sansamp GT2 perfboarded circuit, based on the Tonepad design. Never tested, I bought this from someone else a long time ago and never built it up. $5
- Two foot switches which can be used as sustain pedals for keyboards... just momentary switches wired to 1/4" jacks. One is housed in a wall wart enclosure which is still available, the other is repurposed from some random old equipment which is SOLD, $5 each
- Two guitar tuners, both untested, may not work at all! $5 each.
- Videonics Titlemaker. Not tested, I got this because it seems like an excellent candidate for video circuit bending... never got around to it though. Untested. $15
- Yak Baks and a voice changer toy... all untested. Great candidates for circuit bending too! Untested. $1 each.
- Yamaha CBXT3 MIDI tone module/synthesizer "bending kit"! I scouted this thing for bends and found plenty, so I decided to do a screw/alligator clip based patch bay. I bought the screws and nylon washers but never actually went through with it. $20
- CME U-key "Mobiltone" keyboard. This is a strange digital keyboard that CME released a while back, it is basically a basic PCM sampling keyboard but with controls for an enveloped filter, song storage/playback, and drum pads. This particular unit is not perfect; the cover for the joystick won't stay on and some of the keys need to be hit pretty hard to register a note (which may be an easy fix by cleaning the keyboard contacts). Hence the price; these are $180 new. I bought it in hopes of using it as a USB controller and MIDI file playback device (to use in place of a computer) but never really used it much. There is some minor scratching, but other than that and the problems I just mentioned, it's in great shape. I'm only including the keyboard and optionally a USB cable (which powers it) if you want.
Electronics parts- Three switch arrays, with colorful covers. I always thought these would make an excellent keyboard, but I've had them for almost 10 years... time to pass them on. They aren't momentary. One cover is missing. $5
- 10 piezo buzzers. $2
- At least 70 feet of Belden stereo cable. High quality stuff, pretty skinny cable. $5
- A box of wall warts. I made a habit of buying these at garage sales or thrift stores whenever they seemed useful (9V or 5V DC really) and here's the ones I never got around to using. $5
- Sloped enclosure/project box, 11.5x8x2-3", great for your classy vintage pedal clone, some slots for a fan and a few holes (see photo). SOLD
- Reallllly long enclosure, this would be great for a monster pedal with tons of foot switches. It has square holes in the back which could be repurposed for 1/4" jacks. $8
- Enclosure for a "driver module", aluminum with only a few tiny holes, good 1590BB alternative, 5.5x5.5x1.5", $4
- Enclosure for a power supply, aluminum with only a few tiny holes, good 1590BB alternative, also has a power cable coming out and maybe some useful parts inside, 5.5x4x1.5", $4
- 4x foot switch box, would be great box for a pedal, also may have some useful salvageable parts (like footswitches!), $8
- Plastic wah/volume pedal enclosure, not in great condition, but wah enclosures are hard to come by right? $2
- Momentary foot switch with cable coming out, I've used these for making sustain pedals (see above!), works great, $3
- 1590BB enclosure with messed up drilling pattern, this was my first use of a drill press forever ago, $3
- 1790NS size enclosures, powder coated black and drilled. These come from an order that Pedal Parts Plus messed up a long time ago and refused to give me a refund. They're in perfect shape and will work perfectly for your project, but they were drilled with the wrong spacing for the PCB-mounted parts I had. There are two varieties, and I have 10 available of each. Both of them have three holes for footswitches, and three corresponding holes for LEDs. They also both have 6 holes drilled in the back for jacks, and one for a DC jack. Where they differ is that 10 of them have four holes drilled for pots and the other 10 have five. The set of 10 with four holes drilled also have the jack holes a bit closer together. The 5-hole variety's spacing is large, but the holes on either side (input and output, typically) are close enough to the edge of the box that you may need to drill those out a bit to fit the jack in there (I had no trouble doing this). I'd like to get $10 for each box (less than the price of a new 1790NS, and you get a beautiful paint job and drilling free), and right now I'm not looking to separate them... I'd be willing to sell each set of 10 for $100 each or the whole set of 20 for $200.
- MIDI player "kit"? These are parts for some microcontroller-based MIDI file player I was going to build. All I can promise you is a 2-row LCD display, because I can't find the design or website for this project. $5
Chips!No photo, sorry. I have the following tubes of chips.
- 4x 41256 video DRAM. You need these for the PT2395 chip. $1
- 10x CD4067 16(!) channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer chip. Essentially a digitally 16 position rotary switch in an IC package. $5
- 215x (yes, two hundred fifteen) Reticon RD5108 bucket brigade device analog echo chips. A 1024 sample BBD from the same line as the famous R5101. Could be used in place of MN3207 with some modifications to the circuit. Hard to price this because BBDs are so valuable but this chip is obscure... $50?
Tools- Coleman Cold Heat soldering iron. These are battery powered soldering irons that are supposedly not terribly reliable, and use a proprietary tip. I think the consensus is that these would be good to put in your gig bag with your guitar in case some wires come loose mid-show. $5
- Heath Zenith Digital Frequency Counter SM-2410. Tested, seems to work well and be well calibrated. You can get hyper accurate frequency readings from 10 Hz to 225 MHz. $30
- Global Specialties 2001 Function Generator. Tested, seems to work well and be well calibrated. Outputs sine, triangle, and square waves from 1 Hz to 100 kHz with adjustable offset and amplitude. Frequency sweep input. SOLD
- Syntest SI105 Frequency Synthesizer. Tested, seems to work well and be well calibrated This is essentially a clock generator that can very accurately dial in a specific frequency. Above maybe 10 MHz the clock signal starts to get smoother, but this would be great for testing out specific clocks in digital circuits... and probably other stuff! $20
- Simpson 15 MHz dual channel oscilloscope. Not in perfect working shape, and may not be calibrated. Some positions on the time division switch don't work. Still a very useable first scope, also would be good just for basic waveform visualization. SOLD
- Hitachi VC6025. I believe this is at least a 25 MHz oscilloscope. Works great. It's an early digital storage oscilloscope, can store a waveform temporarily and view it back. The only issue is that the "variable" switch is a bit finicky. $100
