I don't know if anyone can help me, but I have been searching Hi and Lo for an operators manual for an Oberheim OB1? I have googled it and get no luck. Oh buy the way, it sits atop my formicatron.

Back in the radio days when Kraftwerk brought out their 2nd lp, Man

remember seeing a 400 on stage, or so I thought. But who remembers
the 70's? Doug
