Hello Marielouise,

the Navigator is a device that is used by keyboardplayers, who want to 
control the settings of many connected devices by one knob press on 
their central keyboard. Today this device is typically no longer very 
useful (todays keyboards include this function).

But there is another possible usage: the Navigator is one from a series 
of Oberheim devices which all used the same hardware, but did completely 
different things based on their softwar. The most sought-after version 
is the Oberheim Cyclone.
So it might be interesting for someone to buy the Navigator and then 
replace the software in it (which is doable) and then have a Cyclone.


My recommendation is to offer the Navigator on ebay in the category 
Musical Instruments and Gear -> Pro Audio Equipment -> Synthesizers
(in german Musikinstrument -> Pro Audio -> Synthesizer). But put in the 
headline "Oberheim Navigator (compatible to Cyclone)". I think you may 
get between 50 and 100 Euros.

Florian
