I knew nothing about analog synths at the time but thought it might be fun to play with anyway.

The seller wanted $35, and like an asshole, I tried to talk him down to $30 but he held firm.

Turned out what I'd bought was a pristine Roland Juno-60 (with a hardcase no less!)... and it taught me everything I know about synthesis. Still the most fun instrument to play that I own, including several guitars and drum machines.

I know some douchebag that found one of these set out by the trash!! It works perfect too.

also a c64 and mssiah cart and sid2sid board kills the cost and such of most synths and romplers
