I'm sure Trenkel or I (and others) would be willing to take that hunk of junk 
off your hands! Seriously, what's the problem with it? Does anything work on 
it? You probably know there is an internal fuse by the PSU. Something like 
this should either be making music or in some sort of a display (for all 
those Sun Ra worshipers to see).

Of course it doesn't work! You have to be from Saturn to make it work!

Actually, much as I dig Sun Ra, I'm not such a fetishist that I'd want one
of his synths. As a friend of mine says, it's the magician. not the wand.
One of the coolest Ra synth solo's I saw was on a DX-7.
