Well, it's a fluorescent display, not LED.  That's why it's so nice on
the eyes, but also why it's not easy to find a replacement today.

Also, anyone know the production numbers for various members of the
VFX family?  I don't think the VFX-SD II was all that rare.  I mean,
my VFX-SD isn't a II, but the two others I've seen were.  And,
although I don't remember being able to upgrade a VFX-SD to a VFX-SD
II, you could upgrade either to an SD-1, which would have included the
MegaPiano Waves.

"Wicked filters"?  I mean, they're OK, but for instance they're not
resonant.  Yet no mention of the transwaves.  I think the writer may
have done a lot of sequencing, but with canned sounds only...

And "never crashed" but "gigged extensively"?  Well, I have to admit
this would make this a rare unit, indeed.  :-)  Especially in light of
the fact that the keyboard mod isn't mentioned, and that was
discovered AFTER the first SD-1's were shipped.

So personally I have to ask myself if I think this is someone who's
done a good writeup, or done a good sales job...
