OBERHEIM SYNTH

GREAT!!!!

You fared better than I did with one I bought on eBay.  When it came, 2 
of the characters didn't work in the display.  I have been unsuccessful 
in my search for a new display.  Otherwise, it works perfectly!  I have 
another one that works fine so if I have a question about a patch or 
whatever, I can consult the other M6R.

So glad you got it going!!  It's an awesome synth.
