I bought a Memorymoog new from the factory in Buffalo New York around 
1981. It was great - I still remember spending $500 just to have it 
retrofitted to accept midi. I also remember that every few months you 
would have to take it in and have it adjusted because the oscillators 
would get out of tune. My friend had an OB8 and the same thing. I bought 
my first synth around 1979 used - some all metal mono analog thing I 
bought rom a guy who claimed to be the keyboarded for Bob Dylan. When you 
wanted to record a great patch, you took out a sheet of paper and wrote 
down all the settings. Ahhh the good old days.....

I'm pretty happy with my Nova these days! Its pretty cool.
