Poll: Obeheim Xpander and Matrix-12 Displays

AG wrote in to let me know that the Oberheim Xpander and Matrix-12 Yahoo! user group, Xpantastic, is taking a poll on who would be interested in purchasing replacement displays for their Xpander and Matrix-12. He asked me to put a poll up here for anyone not on the group. So, here it is. I thought I'd put up two polls. One on whether you own or plan to own an Xpander or Matrix-12 just to get a count of how many are out there as well as interest, and one on whether you would be interested in picking up the displays.





Details via AG:
"I had an interesting topic come up and wanted to share. Matrix-12's and Xpanders use these discontinued VF Displays. No one makes them anymore. I have spoken with Noritake about remanufacturing the old ones as a custom order. The Xpantastic yahoo group is currently taking a poll of Xpander and Matrix-12 owners to see how many replacement VFDs they would buy if the price was less than $150 per display (each matrix-12 or xpander uses 3 displays). This is a weird part that may not have been used on anything other than these two machines (as far as we know) and it would be awesome if you could encourage owners of these Oberheims (and the techs/repair houses who work on 'em) to sign up and take the poll to get an idea if this project makes sense."
