New synth - Korg Poly 800 reverse keys

Another eBay purchase I'm very pleased with - a reverse-key Korg Poly 800 for a fabulous £57. It needs some work - one key's broken, joystick's flakey, it's lost its patches - but from a quick test it seems to be substantially sound. The good thing (apart from the yummy reverse colour keys) is that it has the Moog Slayer mod fitted, so I don't have to mess around with my existing Poly 800 Mk 2 or EX 800 to get it done. Niiiiiice...!

Victory of the Daleks mods

I've done very well selling modified WW2 Daleks - or 'Bracewell Ironsides' - on eBay. They're relatively easy to paint as they're all one basic colour, and I've done a good job making ammo belts and Union Jack badges, much better than anyone else who has had a go at it. I've done 6-inch and 10-inch models, and I'll try to do some more while there's interest. And I quite like the new coloured Daleks, apart from the over-large chest boxes and the hunchback...
