Thanks for the comments. nice to know there are people that appreciate these 'little' Obies. I've certainly had fun with mine. I like to think that mine came from Oberheim's golden era towards the end of the analogue age. I'm not sure how many of the late models sold as that's around the time when the Roland Juno 6 and Korg Poly 6 hit the scene. Mine's a 5 Voice, rather than the usual 4 or 6 voice configuration, so I guess they wre aiming at hard up keyboard players who couldn't afford an Oberheim OBXa or Prophet 5.

I'll actually be selling mine, as I have to downsize. In the process of ordering the Finger Trim Pots for the Oscillator freq.
