I am curious as to how many original VFX and/or SD-1 owners are in
this group???

I am an original owner having purchased my VFX-SD in 1989 and my SD-
1 in 1992. Both units are still in excellent condition and working
perfectly.

Actually, I originally purchased a VFX in May of 1989 for $1795. In
December of that year that same music store (Art's Music in
Montgomery, Alabama) received their first VFX-SD and I just had to
have it. They allowed me to trade in my VFX and allowed me $1444 on
a trade in for the VFX-SD which sold for $2295. In hind-sight, I
think I came out way on top in that deal.

I purchased the SD-1 in 1992. I don't have a receipt showing
my `total' cost of the SD1. The music store (Boyd's Music in Little
Rock, Arkansas) had to order it so I gave them "X" amount of dollars
for a down-payment and my balance when the unit came in was $1650. A
guess would be that I may have given them around $1000 down-payment
to get the order going – making the total cost at that time around
$2650.
