ZZ Top's Roland Jupiter 6 w/ Europa Upgrade & Moog Mod?

via this auction
"-Fully Restored and Serviced just recently form NYC's highest end audio repair store "EARS".

-Fully working and installed Europa Midi Upgrade.

-A "One of a Kind" LFO 2 mod button installed on the board at the MOOG factory by their chief engineer.

(Please refer to the small red button above the pitch bend mod lever on the 3rd pic.
This modification allows the player to have both LFO1 and LFO2 pressed at the same time, while freeing both hands to play the 6 poly keyboard. Otherwise, when "tweaking" LFO2 you must physically hold down the large white button, which only allows you tom play the keyboard with one hand.
*there is no other Jupiter 6 with this serious player improvement in existence.)

-This Jupiter 6 belonged (according it's folk history) to ZZ TOP, and I acquired it from their Roadie who toured with them and this keyboard in the 80's."
