No way I could possibly justify that...even in Moog Financial Units!

Since the one I have here cost only about $40K, I guess my repair bill has just been set at $25K.
Cool. I was going to charge much less....

Maybe.

When an item is worth that much money in fees to Ebay, sometimes they decide not to mess with them.

Why don't we buy it as a group? I'll kick in twenty bucks.

No. It must stay in neutral territory where we can all be the same distance from it.

So the North-Pole it will be then...

Maybe we each get a peice of it, and then once a year we can get together in one place and like a big boss Transformer, combine them all again to totally rule and kick ass and stuff!

No fair!

Hmmm, try getting the oscillators to tune in the Arctic...
I wonder if it has any 4000 series CMOS, they don't like the cold either.

The one for sale claims to have a PDP/8 based "computer" module included too; though why someone selling a $65K item would fail to put up 12 large images for a few bucks defeats me.

I had exactly the same thoughts when i saw this advertisement.....why just one small picture of this very expensive setup.

I saw advertisements just for a Moog Voyager which even made pictures from the underside of the synth....why not a few more for this expensive gear.
