I bought mine sometime around 1990, it was days before they announced
the vfx-sd and I wasn't very happy because I wasn't told or I would have
waited. Mine was immediately plagued by problems and like another one
of you guys, after much complaining and several trips back to the
factory, I now have an SD-1 32. The label on the back still says
VFX-SD, and on the top, it says SD-1 32. I paid around $2295 for the VFX.

Like someone else mentioned, the slider tends to give random values
in certain spots, but I haven't needed to replace the battery.
Ocassionally I'll get random pops of static with a little delay/reverb,
or it'll just randomly reset with a calibration error. Most of my
floppies with some of my favorite sequences have oxidized and are
unreadable, but with the Giebler program I've salvage most of them
to the harddrive.
