Roland RS-505 Paraphonic. Has operational issues but can be used (see below). Paraphonic string ensemble synthesizer from the late 70s. Known for its warm string and brass sounds. Unique ensemble chorus effect.It is in need of a service. Problems: –– Cosmetically it is great except for one switch missing (the Auto/Off/Manual button) - it's stuck on. – SYNTH selection is suffering badly from crackle and dropouts. Cool to sample bits but it's just too temperamental. It slowly has deteriorated.– BASS selections of Contrabass/Tuba/Cello crackle and drop out, but then will be fine if you don't touch the setting. It's temperamental, but it seems to settle. But of course not ideal. – STRING selection sounds great no problems.– outputs, power cable and outer casing all in good condition.

Exhibit P60.Arthur Ball Smalley was born in London around 1841 and initially worked in the city before relocating to St. John, New Brunswick Canada in 1870 to marry one of the residents, Deborah Tucker May. May was originally from Nova Scotia and was about nine years Smalley's junior; although she describes herself as English, it does not seem that she had ever been to the U.K. before her marriage, which raises the question of how she met Smalley. Interestingly, it states that Smalley's 'point of origin' was Massachusetts; perhaps this was where his ship docked, and he travelled up to New Brunswick from there, or he may have initially established himself in Massachusetts and met May there?Smalley described himself as a jeweller throughout his career, the British Horological Institute noted that he was 'a leading watchmaker of St. John's, New Brunswick', though it remains unknown to which Company, if any, he served his apprenticeship. He was an occasional contributor to the Horological Journal, particularly as regards chronometers, with which he seemed to have a particular interest. In 1876, he submitted a model of a new marine chronometer balance to the British Horological Institute; it comprised of a backwards Z-shaped balance wheel, with both sections of the arm at right angles to each other. In 1881, the family was living at 201 Douglas Ave. and it seems likely that the shop was located in a different building. This was certainly the case by 1894, where the shop address was listed as 91 Prince William St. Smalley and May would have seven children including Arthur Cobden, who would become a jeweller as well, and it seems carry on the work in the shop. By 1901, the shop had been renamed from A.B. Smalley to A. B. Smalley & Son.It is unknown when Smalley died, both he and May were still living in 1917, and attended one of their children's weddings. It is tentatively suggested that they had both died by 1928, though this is far from certain. No records can be found of Arthur Cobden after about 1913; whether he died or simply moved out of New Brunswick is unknown. It is known, however, that the shop at 91 Prince William Street ceased trading in 1919; after this date it became a chocolate makers and then a spice shop. In 2008, the shop gained listed status in New Brunswick and remains famous, among other things, for being the site of Smalley's Jewellery.John Richard Lund (c.1806-78) took out Patent number 9969 in 1843 as part of the effort to combat the problems caused by middle temperature error in marine chronometers. Essentially, the correcting weight which was attached to the balance had a secondary compensating feature comprising of a bimetallic curb connected to weight held internally on a pivoted arm. The effect of this device under heat was to alter the radius of gyration in a non-linear fashion. The beauty of the design is that these correcting weights could be placed on balances 'after market'. An excellent coloured drawing of his set-up is illustrated in Betts (2017) 'Marine Chronometers at Greenwich', OUP, Figure 4.47.4. The current lot has a similar bimetallic curb attached to both weights, each terminating in a gold screw. Beta (1902) 'Jottings', The Horological Journal, Vol. 44 (11), pg. 149.Smalley, A. B.
