Hey you got a deal , Cyclones sell on eBay for between $75 and $175. 

The model line was called Perf/X and Oberheim made 5 models, each 
which did something different.  The Cyclone was the  arpeggiator and 
for its time was very advanced in its feature set.  Today software 
does more but if you have any outboard hardware synths, the Cyclone 
can make some nice music. 

BAD NEWS Without a manual you will not be able to figure out how it 
works because the interface is real cryptic, hey its hard even with a 
mumanual 

GOOD NEWS  - I have an extra photocopy of the manual laying around and 
if you don't live outside the US , I'll send it to you gratis if you 
email me your address off line  bcomnes@... - The only price I 
want you to pay is to donate a few bucks (the postage cost) to some 
street musician bustin his ass to pay his bills 

and I guess if you sell it on eBay with the manual you should pay 
another street musician a few more bucks for your good fortune -  it's 
all up to your conscience 

Peace
