I just bought another synth; a few years back, I sold my Korg Trinity Pro X to buy a Wavestation A/D. I replaced it with a T1, but I missed the Trinity. My Prophecy started to flake out too (just the ribbon controller) so I was looking for a Z1.
Instead, I got a Trinity Pro X V3 (88-key model). I bid a stupidly low amount (IMO) for what they are, and I won the synth!
Damn.
Anyone want a Korg T1? It's on eBay :D

I have absolutely no idead what you just said
No, but do you know anyone that might want an SG Pro X?
Someone with not quite enough cash for a Trinity/Triton, but more than for a T1?
(I forget what the SG Pro X is - more performance based, IIRC? Stage Piano job? Or am I confused).
Richard (turns out that the Trinity I'm getting belongs/belonged to the keyboard player of "Space" :D ).
I bought an expensive keyboard once - it cost £4,000 new, and I paid £450 (well a used laptop) for it. I sold it for £1,200 when I wanted to buy a different keyboard.
I got another keyboard that used part of the expensive keyboard's sound setup, but now it's breaking down. I was looking for another one, or a better version of it, and instead, I bought another of the £4,000 keyboards - a better one than the one I regretted selling.
This being an unplanned purchase, I have to flog the £3,000-16-years-ago main keyboard I use, because the new one is the same size but better.

£3,000-16-years-ago
I once bought a £4000-new keyboard for £1800, brand new. Well, ex-demo. No real battle scars - virtually perfect condition. For those in the know it's a Roland VK-77 - Hammond clone type jobbie with drawbars and a proper multi-core type socket so it can be used to control a real leslie.
It then got some battle scars when I was fixing something on my Clavinova (digital piano) in my bedroom in a shared student house, with the Clav standing on the floor, between my legs to avoid it falling over, and I dropped something, lost any form of co-ordination I never really had, the Clavinova fell over, and knocked over the VK, which then fell out of the window and landed on the patio.

"Sampling Grand" piano. Big rich overblown piano sounds, or weedy thin ones, nothing in between (got a Kurzweil Micro Piano for that stuff which I really like, and a Yamaha GB1, which is nicer but a bit more hassle to record with and a bitch to tour...) Reasonable sounds, very accessible, nice action even compared to modern stuff. Insufficient poly for piano piano stuff though.
Fortunately my bedroom was a converted (i.e. a room with a bed chucked in it) dining room, and on the ground floor.
