I'm getting mine tomorrow...I got it!

[ProudEmaxOwner]

Excited. With Mac, all the banks on zip, some floppies...Will post pics asap as long as nothing goes wrong with the sale. Waited so long!

Couple of things. Is it as easy as the Emax to replace the backlight on, and what stands are you using? Every company I've contacted has said it's too big for their stands...

Congrats !
Finally 

In my studio, the EII and EIII are on studio tables, not on stands...

KEEP IN MIND to drive S L O W L Y with the E-mu in the back. avoid bumpy roads and such.
I bought my first one in perfect working condition (the seller gave me a demo), when I arrived home (2 h drive) the thing flipped... had to do the whole reseating procedure 

AVOID ANY PHYSICAL SHOCK 

greetz and good luck.

Our car is so ancient it only goes past 40 down a hill...lol. Don't worry, there's no way I'd risk anything!! Thanks for the advice about the stands/and to the people who replied to my PM's as well. I feel like I'm being initiated at last!

Congratulations! I hope it works out well. Look forward to hearing about it.

[ProudEmaxOwner]

Brothers! Ignore the cables, I'm still sorting stuff out.







Everything works, floppies work, Mac works, all's fine!

So- am I in the club now? Do I get an honorary medal? Woohoo!

[esynthesist]

Wow !

This machine seems to be in great shape, it even came with a bright LCD/LED display (?).

So what are you going to do with the Emax now ? 

Congratulations with this excellent buy !

[ProudEmaxOwner]

The backlight is I'd say 60%- better than I thought, the cam makes it look very bright. Cosmetics wise some of the plastic has rubbed off around the number buttons but overall I'd say very good condition- well pleased, yeah. LOADS of floppies, all the banks on zip, a zip drive, a mac, SD, everything pretty much, going to order the cable off Rob tomorrow he has them in stock. This EII also used to belong to Rob I found out, he's going to see if he can find out who originally owned it. I bought it from someone who bought it from him.

I start a music production course in the morning and I'm shi*ting it- last time I was in college was 11 years ago...

Can you get the other disks in SD format for mac, the non factory ones, or do you still have to buy them? Oh, and is there anything I can cannibalise for the knob-ends (there's a euphemism for you!) It's missing them.

I'm keeping the Emax for the time being. Using this Emulator makes me realise how bad the keys are on it though, they are so spongy. Needs new springs.

[Elmbeatz]

looks really good. All voices okay?

[ProudEmaxOwner]

Haven't found a problem with it yet...

[ProudEmaxOwner]

...Heh, spoke too soon. Turned it on yesterday and couldn't get any sound out of it for almost an hour. Tried everything. In the end, the 4th time I turned it back on, it rebooted itself again after loading and the sound was back. Display was showing fine throughout. Temperamental old bugger!

S'pose that's just to be expected, or is it the sign of something more ominous? I've seen it reboot itself three times now.

[Elmbeatz]

Absolutely normal. Mine does that, too, from time to time.
I'm sure it can be fixed. Maybe it's the power supply...
Don't worry too much. Enjoy the thing.

[ProudEmaxOwner]

No sound at all now. Been trying for 20 minutes. Help!

EDIT: Suddenly the LCD went as bright as new, the thing went bang, rebooted- and now there's sound, with a dim LCD. Power supply?
