Sorry to hear that, I'm sure more than a few of us have been in similar circumstances. Just
out of curiosity I looked over some complete auctions on eBay and found a pair of AN1x
had recently sold for $290 & $320 and AN200's sold for $250 and $300. Four auctions
may not provide much in the way of an average, but the AN200 numbers were kind of
surprising to me. Had no idea they fetched such a price at this late date.

The SysEx ID header for the AN1x an AN200 is not identical, so if you are able to
successfully upload an AN1x voice into your AN200 using a SysEx dump, the results would
be unpredictable.
You can simply use AN1xEdit, which has a PLG50-AN compatible mode, or AN Expert
Editor to open your .an1 voices and upload them into your AN200.
