How much does the Polymoog weigh? (amongst other questions)
And how much does it cost to buy the synthesizer version these days? Are they hard to get hold of.
They weigh a little over 100 lbs.
The synthesizer version runs anywhere from $200 for a basketcase to $1800 for a complete package with legs and polypedal. Pretty wide variance.
Early Polymoogs are very unreliable beasts and it is hard to find a tech who can repair them. Serial #3900 and higher have all the upgrades and are much sturdier instruments. I have Polymoog Synth serial #4302 which has endured many gigs since 1985, and it's still in great shape.
They're not hard to find, just watch the serial numbers.

Re: Polymoog Vs. Opus
I agree with the notion of getting an Opus 3. More reliable, more cost effective, offering the same types of sound generation as the Poly and - /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ - made by Moog.
