:-) "And don't put a cat in the micowave." Yes all this has to be
written in manuals in these days. Say thankyou to a legal system, that
exonerates stupid people from being responsable for what they are doing.

You should ask the seller. Also Murray should assumingly be able to find
the serial number if you tell him the name of the original owner.

I think your arpeggiator is set to an MIDI-Clock. So it does not play,
because it does not receive a clock.

To set it to internal clock:
Tape -> Group A -> Bank A -> Tone 7 -> Set the value to "1" -> Press
"Write" to store -> Press Tape to leave the global parameters

I assume "connected" means "connected to a sequencer or computer" -> You
sequencer/computer creates a MIDI loop. Disable MIDI thru on your sequencer.
