I live approx 250 miles away from my family and a few days ago I was with work near where my family are, so I stayed with my parents.
As I was about to leave and drive back home after staying there the night and work done the day before, my Mum said "Oh, and there's a box of yours upstairs. No idea what it is and I was gonna throw it out, but it's the last possession of yours in this house and thought you could just make sure it's something I can throw out."
Curious, I went upstairs to seek out the box. Upon opening it my eyes lit up to the point where my Mum got confused as to why I was so happy. The content of the box made me so happy. It was something I bought 15 years ago when I was just 15 years old. It was my Roland TR-707 rhythm machine. I remember making my first ever electronic and indie 4-track demos using this! I then went downstairs and had a glance on eBay on my way out. My eyes got even wider when I saw they were selling on eBay for about £300 each!!!!!
I packed up and left for home, taking my TR-707 with me. Got home, and the first thing I unpacked was my Roland. Plugged it in to have a play and nothing. Fiddled a bit and jigged the power wire, still nothing. Unplugged and stuck batteries in, still nothing. To my horror, it seems like it won't power on at all and my heart sunk and felt shattered!
I'm now trying to figure out the issue or find someone who can repair it but I'm finding it near impossible!
Anyone able to provide a happy ending to this tale of mine?
