I just did. Its at $65 with $19 shipping US. If you want one and wish to save me from my bad spending habits, here's your chance...

don't worry, I'm sure it will go for more than $65

Hopefully those who really want it are awake, there's only 50 minutes left. I've seen 'em go for $200 on ebay before, so hopefully you're right.

Part of me was like $80 ain't a bad spend. Then after bidding I was like "Oh yeah, I don't get paid for two weeks, when my apartment bill is due." Not that I won't have the money for that, but I'm cheap and I'm looking for that perfect synth, not the best deal I could find on ebay.

But, sometimes my spontaneous purchasing decisions get the best of me...

Where you gonna find the power cord?

immigrantboy · Post by **immigrantboy** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 7:18 pm

7 minutes left, I don't think anybody is bidding on it because its listed under keyboards as Roland Juno-1

Yes! I have been outbid! This is the happiest day of my life!

And for the score that is a good thing

I just helped you out and bought it for $66

I think thats a great price.

Ha! Thanks alot, a super lot!

I think its a great price too. But on top of the above stated reasons for my hesitation, I'm not a serious musician and was just spontaneously clicking on stuff on ebay as usual. I'm into experimental stuff and looking for more lo-fi equipment, old casios and the like.

Hosa makes this power cord. Part number: PWC-178. And they were relatively cheap. (maybe $10?)

As a follow up, the Alpha Juno arrived today. It is in good cosmetic condition, although there are scratches underneath.

One thing that was not in the auction was that a smoker owned it.

It still smells. One key doesn't work but it responds by midi -- probably just a dirty contact.

Sounds great so far and the LCD seems pretty bright. NOT doa. Assuming the contact cleans up, I just got a nice little analog synth. The only other analog I have is the Poly800.
