Can't wait to see the others. That's awesome they're doing this. Watch prices go up now.

I enjoyed it, although I only got audio for some reason (no picture).
It's a great idea though.

Anyone care to speculate what else is going to be on the list?
Here would be mine, in no particular order and with no emphasis on personal opinion, just what I think is 'classic'.

1) Arp Solina
2) Arp 2600
3) Arp Odyssey
4) Moog Modular
5) Moog Minimoog
6) Roland TB303
7) Roland Juno 106
8) Roland 100M Modular
9) Roland SH101
10) Roland JD800
11) PPG Wave
12) Oberheim 4 Voice
13) Sci Prophet Five
14) EMS VCS3 (Putney)
15) EMS Synthi AKS
16) OSC Oscar
17) Buchla 200 Modular
18) Synton Syrinx
19) Yamaha CS80
20) Steiner Parker Synthacon
I've probably left out a few obvious contenders.
I've intentionally left off Roland 700 Series, Serge and Polyfusion modulars, as they are arguably not 'classic'.

I'd switch the JD800 for a Matrix12.
But it's a good list thumbsup

You have a lot of classics on that list and I don't want to dissapoint you but I think the DX7 has to be on it, even if we like it or not, it's a classic!

And yesterday I picked up a TG77 with pop and rock cards for €100 locally. Absurd. I like the purity of the standard DX7 but the TG-77 certainly makes some nice noises...

DX7 yeah.
I guess it comes down to what you consider classic.
I biased my list more towards the analogue side of things.
But the D50 and Wavestation both have iconic status.

Just found a TX816 with 6 cards for $200. Hopefully I'm picking it up today. Looks like the extra modules are only $50 or so on ebay.

I'd have to add the Jupiter 8 and either an Oberheim OB-Xa or Matrix 12 to the above list.
