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

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. :lol:

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! :lol:

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.
