Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I just picked up a version 2 VFXsd on eBay for $335. From the photos, it
appears to be pretty close to mint - even still has the "Mega Piano" sticker
on it.  It should arrive on Tuesday.

Anywhere from $300 to $800, I'd say. Perhaps even more with the manuals and
stand.

I paid  $599 or my SD1 a little over a year ago, it wasn't anywhere near
'mint' condition (though it worked fine until last week :). The plastic
covering below the wheels was  a little melted with a burn hole, all but 1
screw was missing from the flip panel portion of the front panel.  It did
have almost all of the original disks though (except 2)

I've seen VFX-SD's go for $399 at places like starving musician and trading
musician, I've also seen them advertised for $700, presumably the variable
is
the quality of condition.

Its odd, but despite all the complaints you see about the ribbon connector
problem, almost all of the VFX/VFX-SD/SD1s you see out there have been
gigged
until they're battered and beat-up, so a Mint condition one is somewhat
'unusual' :)
