It's the only PCM synth in my entire studio other than the Wavestations. I bought mine when they were new and it's not going anywhere.james<br><br></div>

Asking prices, that's quite another thing; <br>there's one for €2749 on Reverb right now. 😯<br><br>But if you take this listing:<br><br><a href="https://reverb.com/item/49761709-yamaha-fs1r-fm-synthesizer-rack-tone-generator-top-zustand-1-5-jahre-garantie">https://reverb.com/item/49761709-yamaha-fs1r-fm-synthesizer-rack-tone-generator-top-zustand-1-5-jahre-garantie</a><br><br>My rule of thumb for this seller is to take 1/3rd of the price.

Its the original.<br></blockquote><br>Asking prices on Reverb appear to start at €1500. Depends a bit on the <br>condition, whether it's a 110 volts unit, etc.<br><br>Anyway, it's all up to you of course. We're all your buddies and all <br>that, but you have other priorities and responsibilities.<br><br>I'm actually in a similar situation. I picked up a 110V Roland JD-990 <br>for cheap, but I have little interest in the unit (haven't even had time <br>to hook it up). And I'd rather rip off some random person on the <br>internet than a member of the bar. 😃<br><br>- Peter<br><hr><br>music-bar mailing list<br>music-bar@lists.music-bar.org<br><a href="https://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar">https://lists.music-bar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/music-bar</a><br><br>Listen to Music-Bar Radio! <<a href="http://www.music-bar.org/radio.html">http://www.music-bar.org/radio.html</a>><br></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
