#4171 - 12/30/03 12:23 PM Bought a Juno 106

Okay Okay, I finnaly broke down and bought a keyboard. Found a Juno 106 at a pawn shop for $280.00. Only down side there is no power cord. Bummer . But I am pretty resourcefull so I know of a few places to look to find a power cord. Aside from the missing cord, the board looks in really good shape all the sliders are intact nothing seems to be broken looks almost brand spanking new. Must have been well cared for.

So now I have something too play with, not more gripe, and complaing but not finding just the right one. Oh and I have played one of thses before. And yes it is one that I have always wanted.

March or april 2000. I wish I had more space so it could be permanently out in front of my laptop. It's up on a shelf and I have to take it out everytime I want to use it.

It sounds absolutely great. Some minor damage on it, but nothing that affects the sound. The pitchbend doesn't work, luckily the 3 sliders above it work. Sometimes the LFO trigger works.

Good for you Paul, that's great. So now it's tek, 'William Orbit', you, and myself with a DCO'ed Juno-106. A somewhat MIDI controllable Juno sound chip without the 'plastic' sounding timbre the late cheaper jupee 4's & 6's had. They have the chip but have other diferences that make the late jupees sound their Juno chips like they got a plugged up cold.

I will check my storage for an extra non-polarized line cord and post it for a topic

Congrats Paul...a really good choice. I couldn't think of a better keyboard. Hold on to it, and dont be bummed if the battery is dead inside. It's no big deal, it's easy.

Now lets see if we can't get you that cord.

Thanks Morph! Actually I am planning to hold onto this one. Especially since it is in execllent condition. No scratches on it or broken peices of plastic or snaped slidders. This one was taken care of. Probbably used in a studio and not on the road.

Yes I really want to get a cord for it so I can start playing it.

Say...
What's stopping you from getting that power chord like RIGHT NOW?
I thought 106s had/have standard power chords.
If you're broke, I'll send you one of mine. I have miles of spare cables and chords in my studio.

Well nothing really. I was hopping to just buy one, but since the music stores I called don't have any, they would have to order me one. And it's not like I can go into Radio shck and pick one up. Becuse tthe power cords they sell are too wide. The 106 came out before grounded plugs were made standered. And since there are only two prongs on the back of the 106 where the cord plugs in a three prong one would not work.

I'll go wednesday and order one from either gutiar center or bill's music house.

I doubt you would have a power cord that would work.

Your doubts are confirmed. No such cables here. I have just about everything including the ugly UK cables, but not the one for your Juno...
Sorry bud.
