Up for bid is a rare, if not one-of-a-kind, vintage RockmanX100 in a clear enclosure. This is so rare that band members who have been at SR&D for years had never seen one! This is a standard X100 rev 10 with the blue faceplate; the clear case has turned a little yellowish over the past forty-ish years but the whole unit is in very good condition. When this was found at the rehearsal studio it had no battery door in clear so a brand new black one was installed. This unit clearly has no front or back decals considering the clear case.
The winner of this auction will also receive a Tom Scholz Fender medium brown tortoise shell pick with Boston logo and Tom's name in gold.
INTRO: My name is Jim Beauregard and I have worked with Tom since 1978. I was Tom’s guitar tech until the early nineties and still work for him part time. Tom wants to pass these items on to Boston fans and Rockman collectors and will donate the proceeds to the DTS Charitable Foundation – a 501c3 registered charity (http://dtscf.com) founded by Tom in 1978. To date, over 40 organizations have received donations totaling well over 3 million dollars. For his charitable work, Tom has received awards from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Friends of Animals, The National Hospice Organization, the Action for Life Conference (Mahatma Gandhi Award), The Ark Trust, and most recently the Animal Rights 2007 Conference.
Because most administrative functions are either paid for directly by Tom or volunteered, the foundation has an exceptional record of nearly 100% of assets being used to fund programs. Because the foundation does not solicit funds from the public, there are no fundraising costs.
In the next few months, I will be auctioning off many rare and collectible items from the vault.
