One of my SK-1s is circuit bent
Although not quite as much as that...!

They're a really good introduction to circuit bending, if you want to have a go. Lots of guides on the web and lots of space for extra knobs etc. Should be able to pick up an unmodded one for less than £20, although they're a bit more expensive than they were a few years ago.

One of mine was 50p from a car boot sale although it didn't work, the other one was a fiver.

It was I believe the first sampler to be sold into the consumer market!

Sadly not :(
I've been after a reasonably priced unmodded Speak n Spell for quite a while, they're getting like hen's teeth now...

I do have a circuit bent Gameboy though :D

Yesss!
I had one of those!

It was a bugger finding a power adaptor for it.
