the last 2 303 listings went for 1300/1200. so I'm willing to bet this one will do similar.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

Thanks for the info John, quite a bit more than I would have figured.

Unfortunately, I have like 800 emulations of that... quite literally at this point.
Far too much to spend the money for the real thing. Probably one of the most emulated "synths" ever.

Nice units though, my favorite quote about which was:
"The 303 is great... put it in the closet for 3-5 years, and it comes up with some really great acid house."

One of the Hartnoll brothers said it... don't remember which one. Orbital, in case you don't know.

This looks interesting though:

Supposedly as close to the original as possible, though I don't have one.
Still, I might buy one at some point.

Take care, and good luck... it's at $699 right now... pretty good, if you ask me.

I will admit I am seriously tempted. I try to stay away from looking at auctions like that - my heart keeps telling me to go for it.
Awright Bawjaws, that smells lovely son, gies a wee taste!

Woah, you live in Libertyville? I work in Lake Forest (but live in Chitown). Does that mean I get your 303 for free?

Two days left.

Kramerica, you're not possibly looking for some place to live closer to work, are you? We're renting our place cheap as of Oct 1st, moving to Seattle. :)
