Alright you gear buffs, help me out

I have a Roland P330 Digital Piano and I'm looking for some basic information on it, but there is no listing here at Vintage Synth. Any info would be great. Particularly -- how much do they sell for? Thanks...

Just goig from memory, the P-330 is a single space rack mount digital piano module Roland put out in the late 80's in the same vein as their MKS-20. I have never heard one, so I cannot comment on the sound, but I would image it was a pretty decent emulation in the late 80's but not as realistic as modern ROMplers. I have Roland User Group magainzes at my office which I can research tomorrow for more info. I might even have a spec sheet on it.

I bet they originally retailed for around $1500 back in the day, but you'd be lucky to sell one for $100.

I did a search on Yahoo and found this review.

Thanks!

If you could get the spec sheet that would far exceed my expectations! The information you've provided already will suffice.

I went through my Roland User Group magazines and my spec sheets and didn't find any additional info. I seem to be missing several issues of "RUG" from that era.

No big deal. Thanks for the quick replies.

I've got one I bought new in ~1990. Still have the manual too. In fact I still have the original box.

What would you like to know? Mine will be going on ebay soon so that will give you an idea of value. Last one I saw went for only a bit over $100. I'm not sure why the bigger, older MKS-20 sells for more - apparently they sound the same.
