eBay of the day: Three Synclaviers on a Lincolnshire lawn

At dinner last week with Matrix, Dr Ben, FMass and Daniel P, the talk was of eBay item 190235556573: not one, not two, but three vast Synclavier systems. Three keyboards, six man-sized equipment racks, a very badly designed eBay auction and a starting price of £10,000. Fortunately, we didn't get drunk enough to bid. (Thanks, Chris)

That's....stunning.

Three of 'em.
 
Don't they have the same keyboards as the Sequential T8? Ooh, they'd make nice controller keyboards if they were just a little cheaper. And my studio was twice as big. And I'd taken complete leave of my senses. Oh I'm sorry, I'm a late 80s electronic musician who lusted after machines like this and the Fairlight CMI. Although frankly, now, they'd be nothing more than items mentioned in my divorce hearing if I were to buy one. Hom hum.
 
"Now used by such contemporary artists as Coldplay"

Because when I think Synclavier, I immediately think Coldplay.

Why on Earth would you write this? Is there a Coldplay fan out there, just searching for Coldplay-related items, who's going to buy 3 Synclaviers on a whim? Is there an old-timey academic synth geek out there, just teetering on the edge of buying this stuff, who's going to read that and be pushed over the edge?
 
flippin 'ell!

about a million quids worth back in the day...

oh how i dreamed of such delights as a adolescent monosynth tweaker with ideas of granduer...mind you got me that Wave 2.3 i always wanted :)
