 I'll let you all know on Tuesday (UPS claims that's when it will be here)
 after I've had a chance to unbox it and plug it in.

Hey all
I found my VFXSD still in the box sitting in a back room of a music store in 
Mexico. The story goes that the first and only customer purchased the unit 
and then had the coil board problem (that we all have heard about or dealt 
with) and promptly returned the board for a full refund. The store (which had 
changed hands several times) had sent the unit back to Ensoniq for the 
repairs and when the unit was finally returned believe it or not it was never 
put back on the sales floor. I came accrosed the store going out of business 
and in the back room was a gem, I think I paid $400 for the unit but it 
didn't have the VFXSDll MB board installed, those are vary hard to find.

VFXsd arrived (was: RE: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: Mint Condition VFX-SD MY STORY)

Well, it arrived today.  To say that it is in perfect condition would be a
little less than accurate.  I'd say it was in very good shape.  There are a
few bumps and scratches here and there, and it needs a good bath.  The OS
needed loading, so I made an OS 2.1 disk with EDE.  Loaded right up.
Everything seems to function correctly, though, and it sounds as good as I
remember.

YIPPEEEEEEEE!
