TASCAM DA-38 Digital 8-track tape recorder

Yes, you read that correctly - it uses TAPE. HI 8 tapes to be precise. I have 2 tapes for it that are yours too! Great machine for someone starting out! Ya just need a mixer! Comes with power cord and manual - I'll toss in some cables for ya too if you need them.

Teac RW800 CD Recorder/Player

NOTE: The SPDIF inputs are unreliable. The analog inputs (RCA connectors) for recording are rock solid! Nice machine, burned many a master in it's day; still has plenty to offer! Uses Music CDR's (not standard computer CDR's). Writes standard 44.1/16k Red Book. Needs a new home! If you need cables, I'll hook you up! PUN INTENDED!!

---------------------------------------------------------

Black rack shelf

Standard 19" shelf for your rack - 2 spaces. 14.5" deep. It held the TEAC CD burner (listed above) in my rack. Now you can rack your unrackable stuff!

MOTU Micro Express USB MIDI interface

Comes with power cord, manual and a usb cable. Binary, phaw! We speak HEX!!! 4 in, 6 out.

Route 101 Solimar Guitar (Strat styling)

RELISTED! As of July 23 2012 this guitar is still available!

Very cool guitar at a super price!

CONDITION: Excellent

Route 101 guitars are no longer being manufactured. This was a company that allowed the buyer to have their guitar built to custom specifications. This model (the Solimar) was given a high rating in Guitar Player magazine. I paid $550 for this one. As you can see, this guitar has a cream body, 3 pickups/5 way switching and maple fingerboard. It also has a wammy bridge (wammy bar is included), string saver saddles, and an improved nut to decrease string breakage. This beauty is in near mint condition! It was used ONLY in the studio and carefully, lovingly cased when not in use. I hate to part with it, but it really does deserve to be played. The setup currently has light strings with a low action. I'm confident the guitar will sell quickly- if it does not sell locally from this ad soon I will be posting it on Ebay, so if you want it- grab it soon!

Erie Bargain Bin price: $450
NEW GIG BAG for the guitar, add $25

FAQ

I found something I want to buy! What next?

Send Tom an email (cyclingtroll [at] gmail.com) and tell him what item you're going to buy. You will receive a cheerful, light-hearted reply telling you where you can pay for your item and pick it up.

What are my payment options?

We accept U.S. cash (always the best option) and U.S. postal money orders. We can also arrange for you to pay through Paypal with a credit card, although we will add 5 percent to the purchase price for that option (to cover our own Paypal fees). WE DO NOT ACCEPT personal checks, traveler checks, broken tricycle parts or kittens.

What is your return policy?

We do not accept returns on any items. Rest assured, the item you purchase is in the condition that was described in the listing. All items are tested before being listed. If you're unsure about the purchase, don't buy it. Remember, this is the bargain bin.

I can't pick my item up, can you deliver it?

Short answer; no. Long answer; Tom is sometimes out and about running errands, so occasionally he will be willing to allow the item to ride shotgun in the car for a delivery. Entice him with a slice of pizza from Papa Joe's, that may work too.

What happens to an item that doesn't sell?

The item will most likely be listed on Ebay shortly after it's listed here, so move quickly! If the item does not sell it will be given away, recycled, or clonked on the head and dragged to our pirate ship for indentured servitude.
