coleco talking teacher

[SineHacker]

there's a talking teacher "analogue glitch synth" on ebay for £85 at the moment  I thought you only added a couple of switches to make it glitch? oh well I suppose we've had this conversation before!!

mine is a coleco - those points never do what they say they do on that scan...

Matchbox ones can't have a pitch control added without messing around with external oscillators if i recall correctly. Otherwise they are more or less the same.

Thats a bit weird isn't it. I've tried opening up two seemingly identical Coleco models and someone elses bends or notes i've made for a previous machine might work on one of them but not on the other.

Has anyone else encountered the mystery of the expansion carts? Every Matchbox version i've seen always comes with an expansion cartridge plugged in above the battery compartment. If you open the cartridge up theres a bare circuitboard inside with nothing on it apart from a single wire link, which makes absolutely no difference if its there or not. In fact the whole cartridge makes no difference if its there or not.
