I just remembered a funny story about something that happened years ago.
In 1975, I'd been playing my organ in bands for a few years, and in a record shop I found an LP of music played on the Moog synthesizer. I loved the sound, and had to have one. I bought a Moog -it was expensive in those days - around $575.00 - but I bought it and used it in conjunction with my Yamaha organ for quite a few years. Although it was only monophonic I loved the synthetic voices -trumpets, flutes, etc that could immitate.
But after a few years it died.
I took it to a technician and asked him if he could fix it and he said he probably could and to leave it with him, but I never heard back.
Scroll ahead a few years and my wife decided to get it out for me and give it to me as a (joke) birthday present. She contacted the technician and told him that her husband had dropped in a Moog synthesizer about six or seven years ago and she would like it back.
He thought about it and said, "Oh yes, it'll be ready by Friday." laugh

Cheers,
Keith
