Nice pics! I bet this is one of the few Prophet 5's that will command a premium price WITH scratches on it. I bet that was a touring keyboard, I couldn't imagine them needed to scratch their name onto a studio synth.

I.e. one can prob= ably assume that that's not the actual Prophet V that was used on The Hurti= ng, but rather one of half a dozen or so that they gigged with at some poin= t or other, right? Just wondering since I imagine this gear will command a = significant premium because of the association with the band. > > > Sent from Outlook > > ________________________________ > From: Alex Timchak <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> > Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 10:49 AM > To: Rob Walker > Cc: analogue heaven > Subject: Re: [AH] Re: Upcoming Auction - Tears for Fears > > Wow - looks like really decomposed black foam on the front of the prophet= . In the pic of the front of the DX1 you can see the road case ends are al= l rusted of in the upper right hand corner. And it looks like the grille a= t the top of the DX1 is rusted. In short - they all probably lived in a da= mp musty storage unit since 1996. > On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 12:00 PM Rob Walker <xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx> = wrote: > > Thanks Mark! > > What was your impression of whether they had been stored somewhere dry or= otherwise? > > Rob > > > On 10 Dec 2018, at 16:33, Peter Forrest <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx.xx> wrote: > > That=E2=80=99s really good of you! > > Thanks > > Peter > > > > From: mark c [mailto:xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx] > Sent: 10 December 2018 16:30 > To: Analogue Heaven > Subject: [AH] Re: Upcoming Auction - Tears for Fears > > > > Went and got some photos of the auction gear, the viewing was very open a= nd informal. > > > > https://drive.google.com/open?id=3D1LwUXMtAihxFCit3v_ibDAH38cAfMGOpf > > > > Didn't power anything up, the DX1 is in better condition than I thought b= ut the Prophet 5 is a bit more road-worn (guessing that green stuff is flig= ht-case foam?). > > > > On Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 12:43 PM mark c <xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote= : > > Scrolling past the amps, there's a Prophet, Linn, DX1, PPG and effects un= its. > > https://bid.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/m/view-auctions/catalog/id/12 > > > > It's very local to me so will attend a viewing if possible, not sure if t= hey'll allow photos though. > > > > > >
