SUNDAY, THAT'S MY FUN DAY

Sunday I happened upon a little stoop sale on Hope Street (home of Smoke and Mirrors).

Turns out that The Guy Who Runs A Studio is closing the place down for a bit (apparently he does this from time to time) and stuff was priced to MOVE.

Here's what I got (would've gotten more if I coulda carried it)....

Tascam 133MKII - Mixdown cassette deck. It's pro! XLR ins and outs. Can synch to video (circa 1985). Will definitely try mixing to this puppy. "Hey man, we mixed our whole record to tape..."

AKG headphones - don't know the model, but they're vintage late 70's/early 80's. Work and sound great.

Unidentified Guitar Pedal - it's kind of metallic brown. No markings. Haven't put a battery in it yet... no idea what it'll do.

A pair of old Telephone Operator headset/microphone combos. OLD SCHOOOL, as in operators with patch cords. Look like they could hook up to my old Lionel electric trains. Whack.

The essential harmonica mic - I don't know the model #, but according to The Guy this is the one the mouth harpists want to see. Some sort of unusual interface for the cable... will have to do research.

And the big score...

Bontempi Electric Air Organ - has a fan, sounds kind of like a melodica, way cool. But it's out of tune. Turns out it's a "free reed" instrument, like a harmonica (or melodica) so one should be able to file the reeds to alter the tuning. This is going to be fun.

Total spent = $35. Like I said, the stuff was priced to move.
