I paid $4600 for it back around 1981, I think. I finally gave it away to my teenage next-door neighbor, who grew up to be a professional musician, serving as Mandy Moore's music director for one of her tours."
Before any rumors start, note that Jupiter-8s for the most part are actually considered to be super reliable.
I second super. Perhaps there's a bit of an upgrade in store (for an Encore)? Encore's extremely well thought out and throughly reliable.
