  2. What are you complaining about? Earlier today, there was a TB303 for 1100 pounds.

  4. Not a real 55. No sequencer--and where's the keyboard??

  5. @steve, you'd be surprised ;) yes, it's not a full 55, but the rich are still rich, it's just the poor that got real poor in "this economy". And the rich will always be buying stupidly high-priced stuff.

    and yes, it's expensive, but think about it, it has 995 attenuators!

  6. A much bigger Moog IIIc w/sequencer complement went for about 2/3 of the price on Vemia a few weeks back.

  7. Looks like a stock 55A. Moog offered the model 55A without the sequencer. This one was made in the early eighties. Very nice!

  8. Waste of money. $46k can buy ALOT of modern modular that sounds just the same, or better, and offers more features. Sure, MOOG mystique is cool, but unless you are going to put that in a museum, why bother?
