NFXD - Holy Grail - Boss SCC-700

I *really* did not expect to find one of these today!

Ex-Nik Kershaw Boss SCC-700:




It's not *quite* complete and untested, but O....M....G - I've wanted one of these since I first saw one back in the early '80's.

I seem to remember seeing a picture of David Gilmour with (at least) one of those in the ‘80s.

I think I saw James Bond defuse one of those in a film.

Don't mention ze war Gilmour in a H7 thread. 

Approximately thirty years ago, the unmentionable musician appeared on the cover of Guitarist magazine. The BOSS SCC-700 outfit appeared in the background in one of the interview photographs. The compliment of BOSS compact pedals included at least one Compression/Sustainer, a seven-band Graphic EQ and several Digital Delay units.

Wow, that's a find. Wonder how much it cost new?

$1570 USD.

That's probably something crazy like the equivalent of £4K UK now.

I bought one of the foot controllers (the SCC-700F) a while ago because it came with a 24-pin cable. I figured I might be able to use the socket on the foot controller for a project of some sort, but it's soldered in fairly securely rather than using the ribbon connectors that most other devices have.

Ex Nik?

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Harry.

Well, if you want to part with it, I'm all ears!

Even if it was for just one day?
