Not 4 for $70. Can't remember the exact prices but they never exceeded $70 is what I meant. The malfunctioning one was my favorite. Spookier-sounding than any mellotron.

I still hate you.
I really, really want an Optigan, and have never been able to find one within my budget (which is, admittedly, not very large) despite my very good Cheap Awesome Gear Mojo.

I'll sell you one for $50 if I move back east in a few years and need some space....
You have GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) my friend ..I can empathize......always one patch-cord away from being the king of pop. Forever saving up and counting my beans for that one special purchase that will put me over the top. This too shall pass my friend. This too shall pass.

Oh Man! My parents got one of those when I was kid. Those "donuts" were unbelievably awful.
My best find was a hank williams style western cut suit for $12. Fits perfectly. I have no idea where it would be appropriate to actually wear such a suit but I'm still glad I have it.
