Re: [oberheim] Re: How old's my OB-X?

Hi Doug,

Attached are a couple of pictures - unfortunately they are quite grainy
as the only digital camera I have is the one on my mobile phone, but
hopefully they show enough details for identification purposes. I'll
try to borrow a proper digital camera and take some better pictures
during the week.

Regards,

Chris
