well, with a heavy heart i just want to let this community know that my op-1 was stolen in a break-in about a week ago. i was a member of the old ohpeewon community and i am thankful for many of you who answered questions about the op-1 and taught me how to use it through your music and tips.
dang my heart goes out to u. will keep an eye out
My goodness, what a horrible thing to happen I’m glad to hear that nobody was hurt in the break in and really hope you manage to get a new one soon.
an OP-1 popped up on eBay today but it’s 2.5h away in Silver Springs, MD. Said it was sold by the original owner, but it’s clearly a pawn shop sort of place. I don’t know that they’d travel that far to sell it, but maybe. Since it is clearly a business selling it I bet they’d be willing to check the serial since they’re supposed to clear things with the police before sale anyway (at least in Texas).
Thanks! I just contacted the seller.
where is the serial number located on the unit? i’d look, but…uh…yeah.
deleting in case other people are searching Google... PM'd bez -KrisM
thanks. i appreciate the insight. not such a helpful design to quickly identify a stolen unit. does anyone have a picture of that panel that they wouldn’t mind uploading so i can attach it to an email to the local police who are investigating the case if they get a hit?
in general all sold OP-1 sold used should get check.
Good luck vibes sent over.
that ebay listing is not my unit, but thanks for the spot
hey i posted this on another forum for u (hope thats alright). i know there are a bunch of VA cats on there. is there an email that someone could contact u if they see anything?
I think spreading and warning is good. I would not discuss the detail which could thwart the effort, by give too much info…
doc, check for a pm. thanks.
Sorry I can’t be of help being all the way over here in the UK but I really hope you manage to get your unit back.
