Hi
I do not really know where to ask this:
I have fully working / not used old gear and no idea how to find the folks that are interested in this initial impulses
I find the GR-100 especially interesting because its not a Synth and I personally maintained the impression that effects are far more interesting
whether analog is necessary or too complicated for hex is hard to decide, but I do not feel that this stuff is outdated - as rarely good stuff is outdated in the music world

I will try to sell them locally (the GR-!00 is 220V only!) but my problem is that I have no idea what a fair price would be?
or where people who know about it hang out?

or is it time to give it all to a museum?

thank you

The GR100 is worth at least $550 (price I sold mine for 2 over years ago and maybe up to $1000. That one from Apple music that sold for $350 sold before I sold mine.

They are very rare to see one for sale these days.

Hurdle is locating buyer who knows what it is, and what it can do - and what type 24 pin equipped guitar works with it

thanks a lot for the info about GR-100!

how about the kits? does anyone build them into guitars nowadays or is it a repair part?

Mattias, those kits are very rare. Over the years I've seen maybe 2 come up for sale, both used. Whether someone wants them for a new guitar (IMHO less likely) or to replace and existing Roland or retrofit guitar, I guess you will indeed find someone who'd want them.

It's hard to think of a price though... If you use Reverb, just price them at a high level and wait on offers.

^good idea. People who look at that 24 pin gear on Reverb.com understand what they are looking at. Lots of Roland GR guitars and GR300's pass through there every year.

I've sold a GR100, GK1 and G303 guitar very quickly on that site.

The GK1 sold for around $200.

Think I would put a price on those kits at least $600 each and see what happens.

I bought a GR-100 in October for $550. I also purchased a 13-24 pin converter to use with my Cycfi Nu equipped Peavey Patriot through my Synquanon modified Cycfi Nexus.

I bought the converter from "Guitar Sound" in france, as seen here: https://reverb.com/item/34376057-roland-gr-13-to-24-pin-converter-for-gr-300-gr-700-gr-100-gm-70-korg-z3

I haven't been able to get any sound out of the GR-100 yet though. I think my patriot may be the problem -- it's the first multichannel guitar I've had and has a number of issues. Starting over with a new guitar constructed to work with the GR-100, SY1000 and 6appeal in tandem might be the way forward.

If anyone has any advice re: wiring a Nu-Multi and Nexus to work with the GR-100 it would be greatly appreciated. But in response to the initial question, I felt that $550 was very reasonable.

I'd advise get a GK-3 to debug the French 13 pin to 24 pin adapter driving GR-100

Often too many adapters /conversion boxes becomes a maddening endeavor-always baby step things and isolate the separate parts , build confidence on which portions work,  while debugging the things that need fixing

I can help - send an email to Peter at SynQuaNon.

I'll take a look and see if I still have a complete kit, but not sure I still do
