The legs of a polymoog remind me of the arms of a t-rex.
(what is something so pathetic doing on such a majestic creature)

The seller says he will ship and is getting some quotes. Anyone want to PM me some advice on price / what to ask? On fook up (Nord stage) per decade is quite enough

Joe, I'll say this to you now mate... think about it carefully!!! Unless you have the ability to take one apart chip by chip, (or know a very skilled tech) this keyboard will not arrive in the same state it leaves the seller (even if it's claimed as 100% working). The shipping weight is 37kg and the chassis is prone to flex in transit which will certainly result in movement of internal components. We can provide you with a service manual etc. but not one Polymoog I've ever heard of has arrived in full working condition after being in the hands of a courier. I'm not trying to put you off but you do need to be realistic. They are definately fine in the studio once fully calibrated but they're not up for gigging and certainly don't travel well. Think of them the way you would think of a classic car.  |

but not one Polymoog I've ever heard of has arrived in full working condition after being in the hands of a courier. I picked mine up in person, sat it on squishy blankets in the back seat of the car, and tootled home like an old granny, and it still needed a bunch of mod cards reseating etc. Mind you the road away from Colin's does look like the road to Amiens c. 1917  Seriously though Vorto - what Shaun said. I know there's a strong element of gambling with any purchase being out where you are, but with the Polymoog you stand an odds-on chance of owning an elaborate coffee table without the necessary tech savvy on hand. Good luck all the same |

Thanks for the reality check guys. You're right at the moment all I could do is change the plug so I'll pass for now.

[quote Mind you the road away from Colin's does look like the road to Amiens c. 1917 Blimey the drive was quite good then. You need a Dune buggy to get down it now |

Someone in Northern Ireland is trying to get rid of a non working PMK on the vintagesynth.com forums.

I bought mine for maybe $550 about 3 years ago. It was shipped cross country in pretty much a taped up box and hardly any kind of cushion. I think I got reeeeaaaaal lucky. The seller said it was perfect, and I'd say it arrived at 90%. Could have been much much worse. He did only charge $50 to ship. I would have gladly paid twice that if he packed it properly.
