Hi, all, I hope this isn't off-topic, but I know there are a lot of hardware synth enthusiasts on this list, and I've got two that I'd rather find homes for than send to electronics recycling. Those of you on the brltty list saw my post a couple weeks ago about looking for a new home for a serial braille display. My cleaning has now lead me to two serial synths, both of which I'd be happy to let anyone have for the cost of shipping. One is a Doubletalk LT (speakup_synth=ltlk). This was the Doubletalk that could either be run off of a 9-volt battery or an AC adapter. It has a hard-wired cable that goes to a DB9 serial plug. It's in perfect working condition, and I have the AC adapter that I'll include. The other needs a little work. It's a DECTalk express, complete with case, AC adapter, serial cable, and headphones. However, it won't power up presumably because the internal battery needs to be replaced. Anyone handy with a soldering iron should be able to tackle this, and last I checked the battery was a type that's available from Batteries Plus and various on-line sources. I have no need for either of these any more since I no longer have a desktop with a serial port. If you're interested in either of these, email me off-list at keith@xxxxxxxxxx. Thanks, Keith
