    Must admit I occasionally think that selling the Juno would get me half way towards one, which is mighty tempting...

    I'm sure you would :) I could buy new for that though.

    Juno 60s fetch up to £1k these days from what I can tell, and mine is (overused word alert) mint, absolutely immaculate with original manual and patch cassette tape. And a new P6 is £2k. So sell the Juno and chuck another £1k in = new P6.

    Admittedly I might have to wait a little while for a £1k buyer or settle for a little less, but I wouldn't be far off.

    It's all theory anyway, I'm not that likely to put money where mouth is.

    blimey, do they go for that much? i'd always thought around £700, but then I only really looked at Juno 6's. But yeah, the P6 is £2k on the nose if you ask shops nicely enough. I came into a chunk of cash which is why I bought one; had I have had to save for it, not sure I'd have gone so indulgent, but it is bloody lovely.

    There's a few completed on ebay for £950, so yeah. (and some scammy-looking ones for a lot more).

    £650-700 is the asking for a Juno 6 these days, though whether they get that for them I don't know.

    Vintage analogue synths have gone mental lately, which strikes me as weird seeing as there's so much more good new analogue stuff out there now.

    BTW you don't even have to ask nicely now - gear4music, Andertons etc advertsing at £1999

    ah really? I bought when they'd only just landed - they were listed then for circa £2200. They were always going to come down mind you.

    Aye it's the way of things. On other stuff I had a quick play of the Korg Odyssey in a shop the other day and left pretty impressed. I'd almost consider getting rid of my real ARP one for it, if it wasn't for the stupid mini keys. Grr.

    I still love my JV1080, it sounds immense coupled with suitable plugins :)

    Yes Gav I did - I reckon that was a bargain if you can live with the format.

    Well, I dunno if this fits... but my synth fetishes are mainly old analogue stuff. Although all I have currently is:

    Korg Micro Preset (the OMD synth). Amazing sounding thing, although some may say its not a true 'synth' as you can't play with the oscillators in the time honoured tradition. I say "bollocks", its brilliant... and its really easy to dial in those early OMD and Human League sounds. I love it!

    I'm going to shove this in here too. Omnichord! 

    These things are brilliant fun and are keyboards for those of us who really don't know what they are doing with 88 keys. Bargain-tasic, especially if you shove the output through effects (sounds fantastic with some flange and an EQD Hummingbird).

    I *want* a Korg MS10 - but I am  long of pocket, short of arm!!

    I remember seeing Julian Cope back on the Peggy Suicide tour and his guitarist Donald Ross Skinner played an Omnichord on a couple of songs. They are definitely more useful than their 'toy' appearance would suggest.

    I want a DSI Tempest more than I want any guitar (or amp) at the moment.

    Not much of the gear, even less idea.

    I've got a Moog Sub Phatty, unfortunately my only analog synth. However I've got Komplete 10 and just got the Arturia V collection 4 deal from NI so I'm pretty sorted for soft synths. Tempted by Eurorack but that will have to wait for a while! I've also got an iConnectivity MIDI interface so I can use iPad stuff like Animoog and iVCS3 properly.

    Love the Pro-One and Micro Preset. Old analogues really are the tits.

    The JD-800 is great, but it looks like the kind of thing the entertainer (Darth Clayderman?) in the bar on the Death Star 2 would be playing.

    Mate of mine did sound design for this, and we had one in the office for a day or so. I had a quick play, quite nice.
