Let me tell you GREAT synth. Super dooper fat. I got mine in the late 1990's in a Pawn Shop in hick-ville. I paid $35. I then used it HARD for 10 years playing over somewhere around 1000 gigs + practices. I never got a case for my "Korg" because I figured that is when it would die. Then I sold the unit for $450 (all win) Word to the wise on purchasing ANY used Korg gear. Yamaha owned Korg for a few years. When this happened all of the spare parts were lost. So when a pre-Yamaha Korg breaks you are major SOL. Additionally, Korg had (might be different now) a policy of not keeping spare parts past a few years. I have not heard any of this chatter recently, but 8 years ago parts were tough. I had one of these. Let me tell you GREAT synth. Super dooper fat.
