toppobrillo · Last edited by toppobrillo on Mon Nov 13, 2006 7:57 pm; edited 1 time in total

came upon a good sized box fulla BBDs at work. Shocked

didn't have a real good look, but looks like a few tubes of MN3011s and MN3009s

also, some CA3080s

i inquired, and was told that i could probably have some if i were to sell some off. again, that was PROBABLY but it is very probable.

I just want to see how many of you delay/reverb/chorus/flange/OTA

heads would be wanting or needing some and what one exactly.

Two things:

A. I'd certainly be interested in a MN3005 to back up the one in my Korg delay.

B. What wonderful, beautiful place do you work at? The only thing I see people giving up where I work are SMT devices one needs a microscope to see that they're about as useful for Synth DIY as waterskis are useful for chickens....

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Topp!

Nice find, thanks for posting!

I'll take two of each please!

BTW, do you have any short-delay BBDs like MN3009 or MN3006?

Regards,
Joe

well ok here is the preliminary count- scott, i was wrong about the 'few' 3005s, there is actually only one that i could find.

the bulk of it is about 200 MN3011s and around 100 MN3009s [256 stagers]. the reticon stuff is pretty scant.. a few of what look like before-market chips even...

also, i found a couple tubes of CA3080s while I was up there. don't know if these are used in any current product of ours or not.

anyways, i am now just waiting for an email. there was talk about someone going through the parts-store and doing some inventory/cleaning house and i said "I'll do it!"

haha we'll see

Hey Topp,

Wow, I can't tell you how timely your post here is for me--spooky. For the past two weeks, I have been going back and forth on the phone with a guy from one of those big parts-distributers who actually gave me the time of day on a small quantity of MN3009s. Nothing has been solidified yet, so maybe this is a sign of something better. Fingers crossed.

If you get the go-ahead, as I hope you do, I would be in for a small handful (ten or so?) of the 3009s, as well as a couple of some others. Thanks again for offering this stuff up!

Regards,
Joe

PS: It just dawned on me . . . Sorry if I've been presumptuous about this! I don't know you and you don't know me ("My name is Joe, I'm a BBDaholic."), and I'm mostly just a lurker here anyway. Feel free to ignore me if I'm crashing a party I wasn't really invited to. . . . Embarassed

The MN3009's would be super cool, as well as the MN3011's - shoot us a price!!

Thanks for posting this.

Cheers,
Scott

i'm also becoming a BBDaholic

So i'm also very interested.

i'm interested to some MN3009 ,
also CA3080 ,
maybe MN3011
and mostly in MN3005, but ok, just one..........

but its all also depending on the prices

cool

hey no man everyones invited to this party. Razz

still waiting on the OK from the top.

I'll probably do a few lots of 5 or 10 on the'bay, but reserve some for sales of 1 or 2 or whatever. I wanted to tell ya'll about it first. after i get the OK and prices, feel free to tell whoever else on any other forums you guys are active in.

Small Bear sells the MN3011 for $15.95, so my thinking was to do about 70% of that which comes out to about $11 orso apiece. i could proooobbbbabbbly

arrange for free shipping on them in the continental US.

the 3009 seem to be harder to come by, so they might be alittle more.

-heya-

thanks for being patient... sometimes things like this take a bit of waiting around for 'yes's' and 'ok's as they go through the proper channels of authorization....... Rolling Eyes

but it's gravy baby Wink

and not that brown salt-water you get from KFC neither... this stuff actually came from ADA's liquidation sale.

Here is the breakdown

MN3011/MN3009- $10.00 Ea... 10 or more gets a Price-Break

CA3080- $2.00 Ea.

We are in the process of setting up a PayPal acct. [along with an Ebay ID] to accept payment...

Additionally, we are set up to process checks and Money Orders directly.

Shipping to continental US will be a flat-rate $5.00 for USPS, if UPS Ground is preferred, that can be arranged as well.

Overseas shipping has not yet been determined, and i suppose will have to be calculated on a case-by-case basis.

PM me for orders with the following:

Item

Quantity

Payment type

Address, Preferred shipping if other than USPS

And I will provide you with a Price Quote.

Feel free to spread the word to any FX/Synth heads you know!

Remember, these are NOS and sold as-is.

update:

things are definitely moving along! we now have PayPal set up [it was like pulling teeth! had to get it when a guy in Greece told me it would cost him like 15 Euro to send $60 US...] so, everyone's welcome to use it... I just have to add 5% cause that's what they charge...

Cool then.

Hey Topp (and All),

Received my MN3009s yesterday! Thanks for the prompt shipment! They look good but I haven't had a chance to test them yet. Will post results sometime soon.

Thank you again Topp for the opportunity to get a hold of these hard-to-find chips. . . . Very Happy

Joe
