Why do I want one so much???

What’s something like that worth

I used one of these for about seven years. Fairly shortly after it's release, a problem came to light - the springy gold key contacts were burning away (basically, shorting out a charged capacitor- which, I think provided the envelope for the piano - could be wrong - caused a tiny spark.). They provided me with a full set of new contacts and a bunch of resistors to install to damp the surge current. I don't know if they did this for every customer - maybe it helped that I worked for their South Coast retailer ! You got used to the fact that the string chorus circuitry had a signal-to-hiss ratio of about 1db, and you'd automatically switch off the string voices when you weren't using them. You also got used to reaching round the back to nudge the tuning control about 5 degrees when you came back for the second set ! Has to be said, it wasn't the best string machine, (although I preferred it's sound to the sterile tones of the Elka Rhapsody), but certainly value for money, and it served me solidly over countless gigs - by the time I retired it, it owed me nothing !

@0:44 was this what Absolute Body Control used for Is There An Exit?

Do you happen to know where I can find the right capacitors to use with this? I came across one recently that I'd like to restore. Thanks for the upload anyhow!

Gorgeous sound

I'm almost entirely convinced this is the drum machine Suicide used in their 1977 release.
