  2. I just paid $5K for mine few days ago - it's in top notch shape, even beter than this one, same "older" jupe and I think it was worth it, considering a) how much crappier shaped jupes go for b) what it is c) did you see TB-303 prices?? hooooooly molly.

    Oh, and it's my 3rd Jupe already, previous Jupes purchased and sold as follows:
    Jupe 1 (had dcb with dcb converter) - Paid $2300, sold $3500

    Jupe 2 (12 bit) - paid $3300 +$1000 repairs, sold $5500

    This one - paid $5000... no plans to sell it. EVER. Well, maybe if it dies and cannot be repaired.. it will make a great museum piece as a work of art. Come to think of it, that's what I'll do - i'll mount it on a wall, put plexi glass over it, vaccum seal it and preserve it for future generations, who will be capable of cloning this space-age technology (seeing that Roland is incapable/unwilling to be making serious mulah on analogs).

    BTW Matrix, if you're reading this - how does one submit tips/pics nowdays? I got some synth pr0nnn to upload.
