Any circuit benders in here? In my ebay casiotone research I've discovered this term and I am interested in joining the sect. I already got 3 cheap 80s Casios. Any tips?

I'm already bidding on some Casio PT and SK's and a Speak&Spell and a Coleco Talking Teacher. I got a 25-watt soldering pencil and a nearby electronics store to buy switches and pots and shit at. Any benders got ay tips for certain models, like what models to stay away from? (I know not to try anything non-battery powered or anything with microprocessors like my Electribes.)

most information on the web for sk1s & speak & spells, so i'd start there. apparently speak & math is good, but i've never found one to mess with. there are two yahoo groups, benders & bendersanonymous, that are full of useful tips & files. just practice soldering a lot & prepare for a lot of trial & error. its fun when it works!

Next time I go home I'm gonna hafta dig around for all the old Micro-Jammers harmonicas and guitars that me and Josta Baby used on the song "F.U.C.O.B.* (wite-out on my brain)", bend those motherfuckers. I like waterhed, he looks like he has a good sense of humor.

Super speak&XXXX's, that is, regular Speak&XXXX's ae good to go becase that's what that Reed guy started out on in the 60s.

I realize the completely fucked-up history there.

as long as you don't spray them w/metallic auto paint, & stick a load of bloody stupid teddy bear eyes or WTFE all over them!! I prefer this gear for cheap & mad fun electronic farting about.
