Welcome Mike!

The Conn synthesizer!  Now there is a blast from the past.  When I was a
kid, I got left at a crappo music store for a couple of hours in the city
(Sacramento) and ended up spending most of it happily noodling away on that
very beast -- the only synthesizer in the store.  I had never seen or heard
of it before, nor have I since.  I remember it being housed in a big round
plastic shell -- very 70s moderne!  Do you have this thing in your
possession?  They couldn't have made more than a few dozen of them!
