Synhouse has customers in 42 countries. Synhouse ships to your country and has since before eBay existed. If you are looking at a small/normal item in the Synhouse eBay listings and seeing no shipping options to your area or seeing a notice that says the seller doesn’t ship to your address, this is incorrect. I’ve been shipping to Australia, England, etc. since 1990, five years before eBay even existed, and eBay has deleted ALL the shipping options and prices I’ve spent many hours setting up, in order to enable eBay International Shipping, and then tells people in the most commonly shipped to countries that shipping is not available there. This is fake and idiotic; eBay had already been shipping there with the eBay Global Shipping Program for a few years, now says they don’t with eBay International Shipping AND deleted my own shipping options without my permission or knowledge, when it could have and should have been left in place as an option because at least it WORKS and eBay doesn’t know what they are doing. This goes WAY back to 2017 with people in New Zealand (one of the most commonly shipped to Synhouse countries) telling me that I don’t ship there, and 1) multiple calls to eBay didn’t solve it, 2) they sometimes said they solved it but didn’t, and 3) said “Uhm, wait 24 hours and it will be working.”, which is how eBay gets you off the phone. And I could never get that New Zealand problem solved. The new problem since early 2023 is eBay deleting my own shipping options in order to put theirs in, then theirs tells people no, the seller doesn’t ship there, but I CAN manually set up a shipping method (usually with Synhouse it’s one price each for USA, Canada, Asia/Australia, and the rest of the world. Now I’m getting messages like these: 5/16/2023: Hi, Wondering how much shipping would be to Canada, postal code T2N 2P7. Thanks! Can you enable the ebay international shipping option for me? I am very interested. 1/1/2024: Hi there can you post to London uk and how much would postage be? Hi how much would postage be to London England Thanks for your reply. Im trying to check out but im get the message saying seller doesn’t ship to your address. Please advise as i really need the new faceplate. 1/30/2024: Hello synhouse, I have a T8 and would like to buy your Optical-Emitter-Set just to make sure to have it in the future. Is there a reason you don’t ship to Germany? If you see that any small/normal Synhouse item does not ship to you/your area, this is FAKE and wrong, please send an eBay message to tell me and I can manually enter shipping to your area AGAIN. Sorry for this incompetent platform I’ve been struggling with for 25 years now… ————————————————————————————- —DRUM MACHINE NOT INCLUDED— The drum machine shown in the photos is for display purposes only and is not included. No drum machine is for sale here. Nobody sells Drumulators for $49 and it’s sad how many times I’ve had to tell people that. This item is marked “new” because it is a newly manufactured overlay and often shows multiple items available because many are in stock. A 37 year old drum machine would not be marked “new” with $15 shipping and two in stock. Have some sense. I shouldn’t even have to say this, but it’s come up five times in six months, and yes, I kept the money. ———————————————————————– Completely renew the control panel of your E-mu Drumulator and make it look just like your E-mu SP1200 sitting right next to it with this brand new overlay from Synhouse, manufactured of the highest quality polycarbonate and adhesive with crystal clear printing and brilliant colors. It is properly made of a sandy-textured polycarbonate substrate material, with die-cut holes for the buttons, sliders, and LCD, and has the correct seamless textured clear windows over the LEDs. It is correct construction details like this that other previous sellers have not had. The E-mu Drumulator never HAD an overlay on it; what it had was all the control markings silkscreened directly onto the gray painted plastic in white, if it was never used it might still look great, but if it was used, those panel markings are worn off in many areas, and the whole panel has wear, discoloration, and a shiny, sweaty, worn-out look. This new SP1200 style overlay for the Drumulator has ALL style characteristics of the SP1200 in it, but worded for the Drumulator, and it is very, very precisely die-cut to fit EXACTLY over all the controls and cover the old white letters and white border of the Drumulator panel. ALL of the style characteristics of the SP1200 are in this, from the exact same colors, lettering styles, and logos, to the seamless textured clear windows over the LEDs and precisely undersized holes for the function buttons. E-mu did the 1984 Emulator II and 1985 SP-12 overlays with cutouts larger than the buttons themselves, so that you can see the entire button casing down in there, but reduced the size of those holes for the later machines, the 1987-1989 gray SP1200, the 1990-1991 gray SP1200, and the 90s black SP1200 reissue (yes, there are three SLIGHTLY different SP1200 overlays used between 1987 and 1998, not just one or two), so that only the moving button cap comes up through the faceplate overlay, this gives the control panel a whole new look. If I had to guess why they did it, I’d say it was partially to give it a more modern, graphics-based look and partially to block the gap between the button casing and the button cap to keep dirt and debris out of the switches [which aren’t very reliable to start with and all the dirt just makes it worse]. Three things to point out about what you see in the photos: One, if the overlay looks like it isn’t stuck down very well, it’s because it’s not stuck down at all; It’s not even peeled, the slider cap and knobs were pulled off an old Drumulator in very rough condition and the new overlay was set down on top of it. All the Synhouse overlays are a very thick 15 mil polycarbonate material, so just the weight of itself holds it down very flat. Number two, as such, the clear windows for the 7 LEDs still have the white paper backing showing through because it hasn’t been peeled yet, making those windows look white in the photos, but it won’t look like that on your machine, they will look darker and of course the red of the LED will come through when the LEDs are illuminated. Number three, the 7 old LEDs stick up through the plastic chassis normally, because they are soldered into the main board with several millimeters of space between the base of the LED and the board, so in order to make this work with the amazing detail of the SP1200-style clear LED windows, those 7 LEDs need to be pushed back down closer to the board. It isn’t difficult and you don’t even have to remove that PCB, with the chassis/PCB assembly upside down, just hold your fingertip tightly against the dome of the LED from below while you heat up those two LED leads with a soldering iron above, and they will move down without bending, cutting, or removing anything (I moved all 7 of the LEDs for the purposes of those photos in less than five minutes with a $1.50 soldering iron). But if you are a bit of a tweaker and your Drumulator needs a little work anyway, you might choose to replace those seven LEDs with new ones to improve the brightness; LEDs are like bugs in amber, it gets darker and darker over the years, and old 70s and 80s LEDs weren’t very good, they had all turned dark by the mid-90s, but the red LEDs purchased in 1999 for the Synhouse manufactured products (Synhouse pocket boxes and Synhouse MIDIJACKs) are still light and clear 20+ years later in 2019. But please control all urges to put blue or white LEDs in there, it looks stupid when 70s and 80s instruments are “enhanced” with those new LED colors, those are the musical equivalent of a kazoo-sounding 6-inch diameter tailpipe on a Honda Civic. One extra detail in the relatively long (8 months and 29 days, because I had to work on other past due projects for 8 months in the middle, would have been about six weeks including manufacturing time if I had worked straight through) chronology of this exacting project is that it was meant to be easier to install by just having 7 die-cut holes for the LEDs like an Emulator II or SP-12, and all the artwork, files, silkscreens, and die-cutting tools were made that way. This is considerable overhead, the CNC-machined die-cutting tool is approximately 150 pounds and a different silkscreen is required for each color, the SP1200 has five colors, so five silkscreens are needed, and one more, these aren’t the small T-shirt shop hand-sized silkscreens that every single one of the other drum machine/synthesizer overlay sellers (including a lot of out-of-business ex-competitors), Synhouse overlays are the only ones ever made in a factory with automated screening equipment, these systems require large silkscreen frames and large batches of the custom colors of very, very expensive 2-part epoxy inks (2-part means it cures and what’s unused is trash by the next day), so the silkscreens are costly. But when the sample production run was done and I finally had it to look at in real life and fit onto a Drumulator, and not just on the screen in the engineering software, I saw those 6 millimeter LED holes and said hell no, no way, this is going to be EXACTLY like an SP1200, and by exactly I mean that several other guys made SP1200 overlays over the years that were less accurate in graphics and construction details and less faithful to the old SP1200 overlay design than this Drumulator overlay is (at least three of those skidmarks just cut holes there instead of having the proper clear windows for the LEDs, one inexplicably tried to simulate it by somehow putting on some little clear stickers or laminate so that you could feel something about like a contact lens on the surface of the control panel, pathetic), and re-did everything in the project to have the correct clear LED windows like an SP1200 instead of poking up out of the panel like a Drumulator. All of the artwork and engineering files were changed, the die-cutting tool was sent back to the CNC factory for modification, but the silkscreens, all five of them, were useless, they were scrapped and new ones made. But seeing the stunning results, it was totally worth it. It is correct construction details like this that other previous sellers have not had. ———————————————————————– At this time, I still have some other parts in stock that I can offer along with this with a little discount. At least 9 out of 10 Drumulators out there are missing at least one of the caps on the tops of the knobs, and I have those replacement knobs in stock 3 for $25 (3 for the SPs, but the Drumulator only uses two knobs). I also have the famous “fat cap” slider caps from the SP1200 black reissue in stock for $29, and one of those on your Drumulator slider would really be the finishing touch on this SP1200 style setup (especially if you paint your Drumulator black before putting this overlay on it). The overlay, two knobs, and one fat cap would be $95.17, but I can do it at a package price of $85.00, and the same shipping price you see for the overlay alone. If you want this, just send me a message and I will set up the special eBay listing for you at $85.00 and the combined shipping. As for changing your blue function buttons over to white and red function buttons like the SP1200, heh-heh, I’m not yet ready to sell any of the ones I have, but will be doing it in the near future, possibly even within a few weeks, meanwhile I should again pass out my standard warning about the garbage “SP1200 switches” countless eBay sellers have been selling over the last two years, they are crap and the wrong part for two reasons (and the “SP1200 sliders” going around on eBay are just as bad, note the intentionally deceptive photos in all the listings for them), and any thinking person will hate your drum machine if it has those on it. ———————————————————————– All Synhouse drum machine/synthesizer overlays are in stock and available at all times, but sometimes the listings expire and aren’t relisted. There are presently 11 Synhouse drum machine/synthesizer overlays (not including the miscellaneous overlays used in Synclavier production) in production and in stock: E-mu Drumulator Little SP overlay (SP1200 style overlay that sticks over original Drumulator graphics [which are usually worn off] and makes it match the look of your SP1200) $49.50 discounted/combined shipping full set E-mu Drumulator Little SP overlay + (1) new SP1200 fat cap slider cap + (2) new replacement knobs $85.00 E-mu SP1200 overlay $144 E-mu SP-12 (non-Turbo) overlay $144 E-mu SP-12 Turbo (says Turbo on it) overlay $144 E-mu SP-12 rear jackplate overlay $29 discounted/combined shipping full set E-mu SP-12 (non-Turbo or Turbo) overlay + rear jackplate overlay $168 E-mu Emulator II main control panel overlay $168 E-mu Emulator II Moog wheels panel overlay (normal new blue color that matches the new main control panel overlay) $29 E-mu Emulator II Moog wheels panel overlay (slightly lighter/grayish blue color that is more likely to match a faded old main control panel overlay, normally recommended if you are keeping the old main control panel overlay and only buying the Moog wheels panel overlay) $29 discounted/combined shipping full set E-mu Emulator II main control panel overlay + Moog wheels panel overlay $191 Moog Source control panel w/62 REAL SWITCHES to replace membrane panel $247 New England Digital Synclavier II ORK MIDI panel overlay $29 360 Systems Instant Replay HD Audio 2.0 overlay $69 Most of these are listed here on eBay most of the time and the prices don’t change. If you need one of these but don’t see it listed, please send me an eBay message and I will relist it on eBay for you, and I can also make a special listing for you along with any other parts needed, which can usually go with free combined shipping if the normal shipping is paid for the overlay. ———————————————————————– There is a minimum shipping price for all of my small components and a different minimum for a very low value item or for something $50 or more. However, I can ship almost any number of parts for the international shipping that it shows for most of those items. So if you want, for example, an SP1200 overlay and some knobs and some switches, or knobs and switches and potentiometers or whatever, just let me know IN ADVANCE and I will set up a special listing for you so that you will only pay the shipping once. This is if you tell me IN ADVANCE, not if you ask for it later because any shipping money paid has already been docked 12.55% (15% international) by eBay and that money is not coming back. Yes, eBay takes 12.55% of the stated shipping charge (taking shipping money since 2011), and is also taking 12.55% (15% international) the item price and even for the sales tax charged (which I never receive, so an item sent locally to Burbank with 10.25% sales tax is charged 12.55% on the tax so that is essentially another 1.3% of fees on the item price). So let me know in advance and I can set it up so that you can save a lot of money by buying and shipping the parts together. I can also set up special listings for different quantities of items sometimes. Usually the price is the same per item but I can set it up and that saves a lot of money on shipping.
