Me too! Me too! Only I prefer that it have been born after I was, because I don't have any place to put a teleharmonium or a grand piano...

Anything that says ARP, Moog, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits, EML, Mellotron, Chamberlain, Vako Orchestron, EMS, OScar...

I just missed getting a String Ensemble for free last weekend. I almost cried.

I have to bite. Curiosity made me look up the teleharmonium, and I see they are not petite little devices. I'd rather use that kind of space for an ENIAC, but that's personal preference.

SM's reference to "keyboards older than" him made me want to simply say "me too", until I remembered that I am, in fact, older than all but the original RCA Synthesizer (which was the size of small house), and so that would severely limit my available keyboards. So, I figured I'd mention one of the original electronic keyboards...

Hey, this is for GODWOLF. Nice collection, I really envy your ability to stay focused on the D-Backs. I've been collecting baseball cards since '71, and have taken up the entire loft and garage. I really like that framed Bazooka comic of Gonzo's "abc" gum.

Els - what's your showcase piece? I'm currently restoring a 1967 Rhodes with the brown and tan fender tweed on the outside, and the vox red mesh over the speaker section. Until that's done, I'm still jonesing on my Jupiter 8 - one of the best analog board made, IMHO
