Hey Greg, check this out.
I did some back and forth emails with her last year in Jul07. She had a
system for sale but after I quiz'd her about some defects in the photos and
lack of an EDS photo (she never got back to me concerning the EDS card) I
moved on and bought a full system off the forsale site from Randy Brown.
I'm not dissing her, I don't know her. I do feel as though she didn't
communicate well with me. It is possible she's a busy person, I don't know.
I didn't get a real solid feel for her. Attached are the photos she sent
me.
Here it is our back and forth Jul 07:
Hi all,
After 2 years of not really using my Paris system, I think it's time for it
to go to a new home where it will be loved and looked after properly. :-)
It's a Paris III system of Ensoniq vintage, MEC rack with 1x analogue
8-input card and 1x 8-output analog card, and the usual honking great PCI
card. There's also a black Control-16. I'll be listing it on eBay in the
next few days, but if anyone wants to jump in first and make me an offer,
email me at sarah@findatlantis.com and we can sort something out. I'd rather
sell it within the Paris community if I can. Everything is in very good
condition, and I'll shortly (I'm photographing stuff this afternoon) be able
to send you photos of the actual equipment.
Best regards,
Sarah Thompson
Hi Wayne,
Sorry, I haven't checked the forum in a while. Yes, it's still all for sale.
I thought I had a buyer, but he bugged out at the last moment with a
not-very-plausible excuse after wasting a couple of weeks. I'll send you
photos in a separate email shortly (I'll have to dig them out).
Wayne: Send me photos.
Sarah: On their way shortly.
Wayne: It sounds like the perfect clone to my system and would be a great
back up for me and/or expansion. All black components, right? Not the newer
metalic blue "Pro" system, right? Everything works, right?
Sarah: All working, all black.
Wayne: What are you trying to get, price wise?
Sarah: I'd be happy with $500 + shipping. I'll be sad to see it go, but to
be honest I've not really done much with it for about 2 years now because my
current obsession seems to be photography rather than music. It's never been
really heavily used since I've had it, so everything is in good condition,
just maybe a racking scratch or two on the MEC rack. You can see from the
photos that it's never been bashed about or abused.
Wayne: I'm in Vegas. What state are you in? . . . for shipping
consideration.
Sarah: I am in California (Boulder Creek, near Santa Cruz). Shipping
shouldn't be a problem because I have an apartment half-full of boxes and
packing material after having moved about two weeks ago. I can do UPS pretty
easily because there is a dropoff on my way in to work. If you need an exact
shipping quote, I can parcel everything up and weigh it if you like.

Sarah: I have everything you need -- I never actually bought it myself I'm
afraid. All of the rest is fine though. (photos coming shortly -- sorry for
the delay, I just got hit by a
pile of urgent to-dos, but I'm back on it now)
Hi Sarah,
The condition of the MEC and C16 looks good, however, the main section of
the MEC is missing all the lights, ie, pwr, sync, sample rate, etc. It
should have yellow, red and green lights in every hole. Any idea what's up?
Wayne
Sarah: I think they are just recessed slightly so they were in shadow in
the photo. I will open up the panel to make sure there is nothing amiss if
you like. They certainly aren't missing (i.e. they all worked last time I
used it!) but it's probably worth checking out in case something has come
loose internally. I doubt that, though -- there certainly aren't
any rattles.
Wayne: Do you have a pic of the EDS card? It's the card that is inside the
computer that's critical to running Paris. I'm OK with no v3.0 CD.
Sarah: I haven't photographed it yet -- currently it's still in the PC. I
can do it tonight.
Hi Sarah,
I've purchased a complete system with multiple EDS cards so I won't be
needing your system. I never received a response on the MEC lights or a
photo of your EDS cards. Keep your system posted on the newsgroup but be
prepared to answer those two isssues. Good luck. Wayne
