Gotta share my happiness with someone!

[Hollowcell]

Well my japanese has improved a little lately, so I thought I'd check out the japanese only auction sites.

Well...Today my first purchase arrived - an Alpha Juno 2 that I bought for the sum of 70euro/9250yen! Good bargin considering it's cheaper than sending my Alpha Juno 1 from Ausi to Japan.

I have never seen so much vintage gear for sale in one place! At the moment I've got my eye on a couple of sh09s (one with a case and instruction manual), 2 seperate sh2s (one missing a few slider caps, but it hasn't gotten over the 3000yen mark yet), a tape echo (just because it's so cheap) and a sh101 (that looks new, but no one has bid yet)...That's without mentioning the various junos and the sh3As - or anything other than Roland! 8O

So far everybody selling will not ship outside Japan - lucky for me I guess!

I've tried sharing my amazement with my wife, but she just doesn't understand why I'm happy about a synth made in 1979 selling for cheaper than I could take a family out to dinner here in Japan.

Wish me luck guys!
