http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-IN-2-Input-Module-/111318093025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19eb134ce1 Expensive, but they are willing to take offers. | ||

I made an offer. I guess I could get it sent to the factory for a grease and oil change plus a transformer/voltage upgrade. I have been waiting too long for one and I could not help myself. slawie | ||

For $1500, it might be worth the grab. Who knows when Alembic will be making these again. | ||

Sorry for the late reply folks , I was really busy ___ When this IN-2 was listed the first time on eBay I had contacted the seller with an inquiry for disclosure as to what testing that he had done. I had mentioned to him that I have refurbished an IN-2 including the rebuilding of the power section. See my POST # 2856 http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/156253.html?1365400212 I provided the seller with a description and help with information before the first time that this re-list of the IN-2 showed up on eBay . After the re-listing we had a conversation that ended up with me as the new guardian of this unit that I accepted as is with no returns and no implied guarantee or warranty. There is no doubt in my mind that this unit will require testing and possible service before I would connect a Series instrument to it. Just to be safe  (Message edited by sonicus on May 07, 2014) | ||

The nice aspect of this particular IN-2 is that it appears to be in considerably much better cosmetic condition than the first one that I had refurbished, that one looked really rough . This one is just as pretty as a bowl of striped candy ! | ||

Wolf, Somehow I suspected you would have wound up with it. In your hands this unit will not potentially cause grief to any unsuspecting Series out there and in fact be restored! Congrats, Pete | ||

I could not think of any person I would like to see as the owner of this other than Wolf. (excluding myself of course) Good scoop mate! slawie | ||

Slawie, Thanks ___ I was really waiting for you to scoop this critter! Then it seemed to linger on eBay ___ and after the conversation with the seller who is a nice guy , who had sincere concerns regarding its functional safety, and possibility of complications due to its age ,SO ____ I ended up with it. I also did not want any nefarious entity that copies Alembic products to get their hands on it and replicate it for monitary gain before Alembic Inc. even gets a chance to release the NEW IN-2 ! Thus ; I sent out my Raven to fetch it ___LOL , Actually it is even still in transit __! The pic above is from the seller . | ||

Wolf, I did make an offer early in the piece but that was not accepted. I was going to place a second offer but was foiled by my own stupidity by not checking frequently enough. I thought that it been sold as the listing suddenly disappeared from view. I was imagining that any offer I would make was not going to be near the mark because the asking price was so high. Oh well live and learn. I am having my series I electronically reworked at the factory soon so I might as well have my budget go toward the instrument and wait for the new IN-2's to be released by Alembic Inc. Congratulations on your "Unicorn Breath" acquisition. I imagine that you will be doing the electronic and functional validation yourself and maybe not sending it back to the Mother-ship. If it is at the factory when I'm there in July the scene may be something like this; Replace the guitar for an IN-2  slawie | ||

Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3364 Registered: 5-2009 |
Hello Jonathan, We jammed at a Northern California Alembic gathering a while ago. The short answer is essentially; A power supply. ___Passive DI, ___Mult box , patch switching & Mode switch, signal router for Series Alembic instruments . The signal routing and DI features can be utilized with any other instrument including ones with passive design. The Alembic Description is better then mine :  | ||

I hope the interest shown by club members on this eBay unit help demonstrate the value in a new production run of the IN-2. Jon |
