Big bunch of yard sales in a nearby neighborhood today. I came away with:


A drum synth AND a keyboard synth for $3!

Cassette recorder, 50¢
And to go with it:

Box full of tapes for $1, who could refuse?
And finally:

Rolling computer desk, $5. I think it’ll be about perfect for the B2600 which right now is awkwardly perched atop a file cabinet.

Today i found this Stihl HS80 on the sidewalk. No really, i went to their door to ask :slight_smile:
They said it had been broken for years.


The primer valve got stuck, which is a common problem. 5 minute fix :slight_smile:

Not synth related but i had to show it off to someone :slight_smile:
This will certainly help me get more synth budget :slight_smile:

That sounds like a challenge.

Add a contact microphone and use it as a drum trigger for some fast rolls.

50$ Might be too rich for my blood at the moment. Sorely temped though.

That exact same drum kit was on the other shelf opposite the cat keyboard.

Don’t bother with it, it’s useless.

Out for a walk, found some power bricks on the curb. Not sure if I’ll find a use, but I’ll have them if I do.

Maybe worry about them if literally found on curb. Any chance of water damage corrosion etc?
