holdon... i'll get the keyboard...

okay, its a "GTR" keyboard with two rows of rectangular keys along the left side, each one playing a chord in a different scale. It actually has 22 keys, not 21 as i said earlier. The "black" keys have a woodgrain style instead of a black finish. The woodgrain style cofers most of the keyboard, except fpr the bottom side which is brown plastic

Two rows is perfect for what I needed and if it had midi outputs. I once had an old organ with two rows of keys and pedals. Sadly I had to sell it due to limited space.

[ringorocks24]

this thing has no outputs, and sounds like an organ. This could be what you had.

i just got another bit of old stuff that everyone might be interested in: a freaking geiger counter! for more info on the exact model, google the phrase "cdv 717 survey meter" and you'll find it. also, my e-mail has changed AGAIN to hiroaki@mad.scientist.com so, if u gots the phease, e-mail me!

please! do not let this thread die ! keep it alive with comments!

[Heccubus]

Threads die. Let it go.

[Gobbler]

You may find peace in knowing that this thread will be mourned more than Anna Nicole Smith.

[Deepsycher]

It can be kept alive by posting pictures of old hardware or I can start a new thread called old hardware contest. I have something interesting to show.

... apart from the boringness of this idea, I don't think that more than two people would post in such a thread.

[Deepsycher]

They don't have to if they don't know what it is or can't be bothered to ask. Just for curious people like me looking at useless or perhaps decorative antiques in rare form.

I will put up some conditions that will make the contest interesting.
(You all get nothing.)

this guy knows a damn lot about old technolgy. im assuming you own some type of electronic repair shop in your area. if not, a bank loan may not be such a bad idea to get such an enterprise up and started for you.

i mean, i at least hope your bringing home a comfortable paycheck with such massive tech knowledge, cause if you knew this much but only had a part-time job flipping burgers at wendy's and still lived in your parent's basement..well,..then i would have to feel sorry for you or something.

Sadly, I own no such business.

new stuff:

Argus C2 35MM camera from late '30s

Sega Game Gear

Brother typewriter

and an update on the status of that keyboard:

it's a "Chord organ" that uses a rather unique system of air perssure and speakers to produce a creepy "organ/accordian sound"

[Heccubus]

I've owned two chord organs in my life. I miss them dearly.

[looktothesky]

I used to have one of those coloured key organs in my room a few years ago, since my family got it for free from some church (it wasn't mine, but since I live away from home for school, they shove whatever junk into my old room, lol). It reminded me of the one from Mission Hill, haha, "Red-- you really got me --green--". It was so old it would make firecracker-like noises when you turned it on, and some of the keys lit up. It only lasted a few months until it sputtered and died, though.
