Description
 


Included: Yamaha 02R Version 2 MB02 meter bridge CD8-AD AD/DA card (w/16 TRS jacks) CD8-TDII card (Tascam DA-88 TDIF interface) CD8-CS Digital Cascade card (1 card, other is in other 02R) original user manual + update supplement (only have one manual so I will put it with this first one) I have 2 of these that were bought new together and used together, serial numbers #1184 and #1186, only one is for sale in this auction, #1184. I have the receipt for this in my records, it was purchased at Westlake Pro Audio and just the mixer ($6,230), meter bridge ($910), and CD8-TDII card ($210) cost $7,350. The digital cascade kit pair of cards cost $700 more, but this one of course only has one half of the pair installed. The other mixer that will be listed later has the other one. Somehow we might work it out for those two cards to end up together somehow. Unless someone buys both mixers. The total receipt for both of them was exactly $17,000 plus tax, and four of the cards (the rare CD8-AD card in this one, and the three CD8-AT ADAT optical LightPipe cards in the other one) were purchased later at additional expense. These were used only in a private one user one person home studio and removed from the home by me personally. Probably was used a lot when it was brand new and was sitting unused all the rest of this time. When I took the photos, the service and testing work had not been completed yet, I just took the photos quickly because the rain was coming, all I did was dust off the top and back with a paintbrush. As the service was being completed, I cleaned all the surfaces. I have never in my career seen a second hand mixer in a condition as clean as these two mixers are. There are absolutely no marks whatsoever on the entire control surface. There are no scratches, there are no wear marks, there are no wear circles around certain controls, it is completely unworn. There were never pieces of tape put across it to mark the tracks, track assignments were never written on it in grease pencil, etc.. None of the silk screen lettering or other panel markings has been scratched off. Not a single character has been scratched off or even scratched. Nothing is scratched on the control surface. Nothing is worn on the control surface. It is in absolutely mint condition. Like right out of the box. This is some of the newer part of the otherwise mostly 1980s collection of a super famous pop band that had 3 Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits between 1985 and 1987. Yes, three of them (even Jackson didn't have 3 in that period). You will never in your life have a chance to get one of these from an artist with more 80s success than that. Please look at the photos carefully, this is excellent. The second Yamaha 02R Version 2 (equally mint, they were bought together, serial number is 2 digits higher) that the artist used with will be listed on eBay later. It has the second half of this cascade card set to hook them together, plus other cards. The Synclavier from the artist probably won't be sold on eBay, it's worth more as normal company merchandise so I'll keep it. Free local pickup in Los Angeles. And I'll load it for you. I live in Los Feliz and most of the gear is in my warehouse space nearby and the buyer can go with me to get it if I haven't brought it back yet. This has been tested and serviced, with 4 hours tech time December 2016. A new lithium battery has been installed this month to save the program memories. This is actually extremely easy on this model, just remove several screws and switch the battery that is in the socket. Some Yamaha products take much more time to change the lithium batteries, such as one I did earlier this month that took nine hours. The power supply is perfectly quiet. There is no power supply noise in the audio, and there is no audible buzzing or humming noise in the room whatsoever. You can hold your ear next to the power supply with the panels removed and it has no sound at all. The power supply checks out perfect in every way. No connector burning, no brown spots. Those problems exist with plenty of 02Rs out there, but not this one and not the other one I'll be selling. The panel and controls on this are in outstanding condition, and the outputs are hot and clean sounding. It sounds fabulous. This is a great sounding digital console. All the display modules and LEDs work properly. All the buttons work, and all inputs/outputs work perfectly. The total recall motorized faders work perfectly. A better one of these is not going to be found. The built-in AC power cord shown in the photo is included, as is the meter bridge and three modules, and the original user manual and supplement. Nothing else is included. You can pay by PayPal or you can pay with cash in person on pickup. I have vast shipping expertise and Synhouse has exported electronic music machines to customers in 39 countries over the last 17 years. I can get it there safely. For shipping, the eBay listing shows the correct price for international shipment and for USA shipment in the lower 48 states except for California. If you want to buy this and you are in California, I can reduce the shipping to $165 if you can send me a message before you make the purchase and I can change the price and you can immediately make the purchase after that. If you make the purchase without me making this change, eBay and PayPal are going to take 13% of that shipping money so you will have already lost the chance for that offer. You must write to me first if you are in California and want this shipped to you for $165 instead of the rest of USA 48 state rate shown in the eBay price. Also, if a buyer ends up buying both of them to hook them together the way they have been used before, it would be $225 to ship one, but only $300 to ship two. They were actually wrapped together to come to my place and it was very easy to do. It will just require making the carton or custom crating a little larger. I need to make a statement regarding the high shipping costs here. The USA shipping price shown here is for boxing or double boxing or custom crating (at my option) and shipping by motor freight, that means on a pallet by big rig, to be picked up by you at a terminal in your major city. A residential liftgate delivery service to your door would add expense on top of this and is not included. I will not put this in a cardboard box with some packing peanuts and bubble wrap and hand it over to UPS and hope for the best. It will go by motor freight the way I ship my Synclavier equipment. I have to laugh at the inexperience of the idiots on eBay selling these 02R mixers. These are the guys that end up making grouchy comments on the internet later (by the end of their first year on eBay) about how their PayPal account is suspended or how they lost all the money on the sale of a big ticket item. Because someone is going to refuse the charges when an expensive item is destroyed in shipment due to negligence of the shipper/seller and they are not paid back. Some 02R sellers say shipping is $125. Some say it's $80. Some say $79, some say $48, one says $18. This could not be shipped ACROSS TOWN for $50 even if it were an empty cardboard box of this size. And the declared value insurance would add 20 bucks more. And whatever that comes out to, if the seller charges that amount, they will only receive 87% of that amount because the rest has been taken away by PayPal and eBay. Just the size alone puts this in a super duper dimensional surcharge even if it had no weight whatsoever. And the weight of this thing is extreme. What some optimistic inexperienced people don't realize is that the packing rules for electronics are right on the wall at UPS and FedEx. You can walk in there and read them. It says that all electronic products must be double boxed and all of them must have at least 4 inches from the product to the outer layer of the outer box. Dollars to Donuts you have not received even one of your second hand music/audio items from any eBay seller in the last year that conformed to that rule that all parcel companies have. What does this mean? To someone who has been in the international mail-order business for 26 years like I have, this means that if the shipments are insured, the shipping company happily quadruples their profit on the transaction by pocketing that insurance money, and they denies all claims immediately. They will take your money for the parcel shipment, then they will take an additional $30 or $40 or $50 for the insured value you declare, and they will let you claim any stupid amount you'd like because it just puts more money in their pocket that they're never going to give back, then they will summarily deny any claims on the grounds that you did not pack it according to the rules that are clearly posted on the wall. They don't even have to lift a finger for this one, they just need to point to the rules on the wall that you didn't follow: Double box. Four inches. Goodnight. Land sakes alive they collect a lot of insurance money for things they will never ever ever ever ever pay a claim on. You know how often they pay a claim to a private user? Like almost never. Yes, if Yamaha or Sweetwater ships this to you, and it sustained some damage, the claim will be paid to them immediately. Because they spend six or seven figures per year shipping with their company and they don't want to lose that business to the other competitors. Also because it would be a brand-new currently in production item and the value is precisely known and can easily be replaced from stock. And another perk they get is that the loophole in the packing rules says that it doesn't have to be double box and it doesn't have to have 4 inches of space so long as it is in the original custom molded hard foam factory box packaging, which a private seller of second-hand goods almost never has. Another reality that people don't seem to grasp without my level of experience is that people seem to think that after 20 years on their union job at UPS, someone is going to blow their back out on their shipment. Guess what? They're not. If a package is too heavy to be lifted very very very easily, or too big to get their arms around easily, they're just going to kick it out of the truck and they're just going to kick it off the loading dock. I've seen it many many many times. This is why I have to go to freight services for heavy and delicate electronics. So anyway, if you happen to be in one of the areas nearby where you can do a free local pickup or if you are in the Bay Area and I can bring it there for the small fee or somewhere else that I've mentioned below, go for it, this would be an exceptional deal for you because it will be hand cartage. No parcel companies. Other local pickup possibilities in different areas: I am in the San Francisco Bay Area very frequently, most of my time in the north part of the East Bay, it is possible that I could bring them with me to San Francisco Eastbay for a very very small amount of money if you were a little bit patient to wait for it to get there. $65 would be okay for that. I could deliver it anywhere in LA City for $50, or $60 in most of LA County except the desert. $80 to Thousand Oaks or Westlake Village area or to Orange County. This item is part of a tremendous collection of outstanding instruments and audio equipment from a major rock group. The gear is being thoroughly inspected and tested and checked over and serviced and restored piece by piece. I will probably end up keeping about half of the collection here for myself, then possibly later releasing a few more pieces. About half of it will be sold as soon as it can be serviced and photographed and listed for sale. This was a massive collection weighing 3,200 pounds. There are six keyboards, 59 rack units of samplers, synthesizers, audio processors, and workstations, two mixers, two monitors, and some absolutely badass speaker cables. Please note on my auctions here at this time that I am trying to leave on a major trip to complete some expensive projects and I will be selling a tremendous amount of gear on eBay in the next few days and weeks. I am going to start most of these actions as 30 day auctions, with Buy It Now, but when I have enough time and money to take the trip, I will leave on the trip and will either cut the auction short to end sooner than 30 days, or will stop the actions completely and just restart them after I come back. Some of the smaller simpler items I will have pre-packed and those can be shipped even when I'm gone. So just because the auction says it's going to be here for 30 days doesn't mean it will be here even in seven days. Also please note that in my BUY IT NOW listings, I am more likely to take a lower offer only if it is very soon, like in the next day or two or three days. After that, I am less likely to accept any best offers below the stated listing price and I will leave these exceptional items on eBay in a series of 30-day listings until sold. Thank you.
