Crumar Performer, Round Two (Fight!)

Okay, so I got this Performer in the hizzle. It is actually in surprisingly good shape; only a couple minor problems, which I can certainly deal with for the price I paid!

The resonance slider on the Brass section is dead, for starters. I haven’t opened it up to see if it’s a loose connection or the pot is actually completely out of commision, but I assume the latter, and will need to replace it. The slider toggle for the Brass volume is broken off, so that’ll need to be replaced. And all but 5 of the slider caps are missing.

So, anybody have a dead Performer and want to sell me the resonance and Brass volume sliders, plus ten slider handles? Otherwise, I’ll just buy 15 new ones, if I can find a current production model that fits.

Otherwise, it’s in great shape. Someone sharpied out the “AR” in “CRUMAR” on the top, resulting in a “CRUM PERFORMER” but I don’t really care about that. In sound, it is significantly different than the Omni 2. You can really hear the divide-down working on the lower notes, where it’s not so obvious on the Omni and RS09. As string synths go, it’s one of them. I wouldn’t pay a shitload for one, but it has a definite Joy Division vibe to it which I really like, and is appropriate to what I’m currently up to, musically. So I have no complaints.

(And let me just add that Phase Two fucking owns this cocksucker. It’s like they were made for each other.)
