Pho of Aurora was the first stop on my pho tour and at the time I gave it a good review. I finally managed to get back there this weekend. I suspected that I had gotten more demanding in my reviews after the first few, so I was eager to go back and see what I thought -- plus it's not far from home and I wanted to know for sure if I have a quality neighborhood pho joint. alas, my fears were confirmed; this time I found the broth unmemorable, somewhere at the mid-to-low end of the "pretty good" that most places scored. the meat was uninspired as well. now maybe they're just inconsistent, but I figure there's a good chance I overrated them on my first trip.

all of which leaves me without a really good neighborhood choice. I guess both Tic Tac and Vietnam are not too far away, though it's too bad there's no decent place right nearby, or at least along this strip of Aurora; I was hoping to be able to flash some 99 pride, but so far no deal.

Any of you guys interested in a free rolling rack? It's got a sloped top with something like 12U, and maybe 20U in the bottom. One caster is missing, but it's otherwise in fine shape.

So.. I'm not really using my Doepfer modular much these days and am thinking about clearing it out to make room for other things. If you're interested, let me know (or if you know anyone who might be, point them my way). People around Seattle preferred, but I'll ship it, assuming you're willing to cover a very good packing job.

Everything is in excellent shape -- I recently checked through all the connections and everything's working fine. The one exception is a few small batz-maru stickers I added to a few modules for novelty. I'm probably looking for about 75% of new price, but I'd much rather sell this as a whole than have to deal with parting it out, so any reasonable offer will be considered. New price would be about $2700 for the case and all modules (not counting the AS modules, which don't seem to be available any more). Complete module list below the cut. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the modules (especially the analogue solutions modules, which are fairly rare).

I'm not parting it out yet, though if you're interested in multiple modules you can make an offer.
