SYMC 70
Didn't see that one coming. Always thougt the original SYM70 was very specific in use, but if you have a use for it...
A battery-powered SYM makes all kinds of sense.
It is a low duty cycle tool, so one can probably get a full day's worth of work on one set of batteries. Coupled with a CTMC Midi it seems an obvious setup. Would not surprise me if the corded SYM is dropped without a replacement sooner rather than later.
Yes, absolutely, that it makes sense. But I just didn't expect them to "upgrade" the SYM with batteries since it's, for what I can tell, a very low volume seller.
Besides. Cordless makes it infinitely more practical to market in the US/UK vis-a-vis SKU counts.
