i know im SO glad i got my micro when i did...i thinks its been about 2 years...but ive seen them go for like $1200 on the bay :shock: thats like 3 times what i paid for mine!

I think all of the above ideas are great. Guys, you won't be sorry. GET YOUR VOYAGER. Do whatever you must to get one.

Guys, I did what other moog enthusiasts would call criminal. I actually sold my model D for some of the money. And you know something? I still don't regret it. That poor thing was a WONDERFUL synth. But need my moog on STAGE. My old model D was just too undependable for stage use. As a museum piece, fine. But I don't have a museum. That and it's been harder and harder to find techs that I could trust to maintain it for me (Not you, Kevin - strictly a shipping thing you know :wink: ). I needed the stability and the computer element of the Voyager for my work. Simple as that.

Anyway, apply that to any other 'museum' pieces you have lying around. If you have a dusty old synth or keyboard hanging around that you're keeping that can bring in some significant bucks, consider letting it go. If YOU are not using it to it's full potential, there's someone that will pay you good money to have it ang give it a GOOD home. And not only keyboards. Anything else that you have hanging around the house that you believe is worth money (as in comic collections) and it's something that you haven't brought out and looked at for 2 years or so... well, perhaps it's time to turn it into a VOYAGER which is something that will give you YEARS upon YEARS of joy and usefulness.

WHATEVER the cost... GET YOUR VOYAGER. You won't be sorry.
