Korg MS-20 Mini
Finally, finally, after fifteen weeks of waiting, it shipped Wednesday and got here this morning. Totally worth the wait It's well-built, not "Mini" enough to be a problem, and sounds incredible. What a funky little machine! It just naturally lends itself to squelchy, weird, funky basses and leads. It's great for crazy effects stuff, too, thanks to the patch panel. (I do wish it had an option for multi-trigger on the envelopes, though - ah well.) All this and MIDI - quite a deal, certainly better than shelling out the going rate for the original MS-20 on eBay.

I am so stoked

wow,now thats something worth waiting for,its a thing of beauty.

Awesome. It looks like it's been made like Inglorious Basterds.

I'm looking forward to watching this when I get home.

The 2500UX sticker is original. I've seen it myself back in the day. AFAIK it was retrofitted on the machines made in Germany, as Commodore sold them with Unix on it.

I don't believe that particular sticker is authentic. Yes, Commodore did retrofit labels, but they used better labels. If you look closely it looks fuzzy, apart from the fact that the machine did indeed come with a tape drive. This machine however has a 5.25" cover that has exact the same discoloration as the rest of the front cover, which would suggest it has always been there, and was the Original cover supplied with the machine.

Compare it to my label; which is completely identical to two other covers I have from the US; A 2500 and a 2000HD:

Hmm, I'd say yours is in better shape and still matching the color of the case. But you've got a point on the cover.

I'm still inclined to say it's original. But not as sure as I was at first.

 

[salaxi54]

Did the actual A2500s have a silver tag at the rear saying A2000, or was it also named A2500 there?

 

[moijk]

it is quite odd to see a 2500ux that came with tape drive and ethernet card without neither.

I'm sorry to be a grammar nazi here, but I saw this and imagined all the people that might learn from it and make the same mistake.

(I'm really sorry)

Don't be. I was about to ask in the thread if that was the proper use of neither, but felt I shouldn't derail the thread.

You're right you know.

The other 2500UX label looks like a sticker on top of the original 2000 badge. Looks like someone has been had!

Well, I am already taking Tahoe's offer to have closer look at it.

I know their are fake stickers being made, but these don't have that plastic foil as extra cover.
Mine has got that.

But I think I have got to put it back on the wishlist again and hope to spot one as good as Tahoe has, but I think that will be impossible.

The major problem is serial numbers, these can be completely random, but if we had a list than at least I could verify it.

This one came from Spain around 2008.

I got my first ever business cards today!

I think they came out well. I love Moo.com's printing service, I must say. I don't love the way my camera's flash washed out the picture quite so much...

Snazzy Do you do custom sewing or something, then?

I stole the picture from google.
I will add a real picture when i get it.

Snazzy :smile: Do you do custom sewing or something, then?

Thanks much! As for custom sewing, sort of - plush toy design of a geeky nature is my other hobby. I'm never bored, that's for sure.

Oh man, that's nostalgic!

Wait, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

Will you be creating a 6ft Lemming in the near future with your purple sewing machine?

well i have a fisher ca-77 on the way now. pretty famous and some are saught after..
the ca-77.. in my oppinion is really a sanyo BUT thats fine with me i like them too.
i cant take god enough care of the old valve amps. and thd on valve amps arent that great although audiophiles will probably now shoot me down in flames for saying that.

to be honest im not used to such low wattage amps lol.
i have been known to have 1000w PA's and usually id have had some where around 300w for my bedroom.
But with a little one running arround and saying OOH whats this thing do it says VOLUME. the neighbours would probably go nuts.

So 50w should be ok. i doubt it will go over 1/2 way on a regular basis, probably be some where about 1/4 volume for most of its life.

im just happy that im getting back the things that i want slowly.

but damn the wharfdale lasers have gotten expensive. the last pair i bought was only the price of a couple of pints in the pub.
now they are the price of a whole night out pizza and a taxi home.

Hahahaha! No, no no no... I think that's rather big for a rodent, don't you? (Well, that, and the fabric costs would be prohibitive for a "just because" sort of project.)

Though, I did design my plush lemming pattern (I'm guessing you looked at the website from the business card?) to scale up and down quite well, that said...

I've recently picked up a bbc master, atari st both need some TLC, acorn electron, sega game gear and master system, and an icle NEC multisync 15" LCD monitor.

Only problem been I have my dad staying over at the moment so the workshop is closed unless he wants the dogs bedroom.
