Title link takes you to the full scan. Via the comments of this post.

"I have a Yamaha SK50d. It's an organ synth (with surprisingly good leslie-ish option), poly synth, string synth and one-osc wicked mono synth in one. With two damn keyboards. And you can layer stuff all over the place. Individual outs for each part."

One more by devowski. I just like this one.

ntm - New Flickr Shot

Another via devowski. I'm begining to wonder when I might actually run into one of these in public. BTW, if you ever run into one of these or other in public and have a digital camera handy, send me a picture and I'll put up a post. I'll call it Synthspotting.

Update via devowski in the comments:

"lately ive just been painting in upstate new york and ontario, as well as on freight trains which go all over the continent. i do however have a few of these guys hanging out in sweden and france.

for the love of synths indeed.
if anyone is interested in a painting or something id gladly sell or trade. "

Used Analog Gear Prices Going Down?

Ok, is it just me or has anyone else noticed old gear being let go for less than a year or two ago? I recently saw a Roland SH-101 listed for $375, a Kawai SX240 for $200 and now this, a Roland Juno 106 for $275. Title link takes you to the sale on Craigslist. I'm begining to wonder if people are dropping thier old gear in favor of new analogs, soft synths, and VAs. If this trend continues I just might get me an SH-101. : )
