Today after getting home from work I ate some carrots and hummus and hopped on my bike, intending just to run up to the bank and go to the ATM. Instead I ended up going to the ATM, then winding my way through industrial parks up to 24 Mile and M-53, where I turned around under the bridge after coming across this amusingly broken set of toy guns. I then wound my way home, taking time to ride through every industrial road / park I came across, racking up a total of 15 miles.
Yesterday I received this box in the mail, and tonight I opened it and grabbed some pictures. See, a guy by the name of Jan Czmok, who is the only person (that I know of) besides me to build a complete MIDIbox SID-NUXX (you can see his photos of his here) wanted to buy a for-repair TR-606 on eBay, but the seller would only ship to the US, so I’m relaying it for him. Here is a mirror of the auction, if you’d like to see it. For reference, the auction closed for $255.
I wish him luck in fixing it up because it’s not in particularly good shape. While it doesn’t seem to have a smell, the damage to it makes me think that it was either left in a garage for a few years, that it survived a flood, or maybe that it was just left at the bottom of a septic tank full of angry lobsters.
