Hmm, so who are the (rich) people buying all the ARPs and Moogs and
Buchlas? The latter ones are more expensive than ever (like simple
mixing modules for the price of half to 2/3 of a Serge panel). AMS is
the most expensive dealer in the world while having sort of a
monopole on Buchla resales. I know of some systems that were up for
private sale for some time, and most made it to AMS eventually. This
is perhaps an indication for good service. It is also probably an
indication that _both_ the sellers and the buyers aren't exactly
short on money since either party accepts leaving considerable $$ to
AMS for the services.

BTW, what is the module labelled "Sequencer/ outputs" on the lower
panel shown at the following URL?
