Love these kind of translated old price lists. :)

> SDS1: 365 = 733

I suddenly have two for sale if you're OK with the original price. :P

> SDS6: 2800 = 5620
> SDS7 (5piece kit (K,S,Tx3) - no hardware): 4365 = 8761

Holy smoke! No wonder there are so few out there.

> SDS7 HH package: 597 = 1198
> SDS7 rack ears: 34 = 68
> SDS8 (no hardware): 1550 = 3111

I'd like to see someone pay that today. But I can sure appreciate why it
sold so much better than the SDS-7.

> EPB: 795 = 1596

Damn! :-o

> 6 pack of 16k eproms: 168 = 337
> Red Muscle Shirt: 7 = 14

_That_ on the other hand would be OK for a factory new Simmons shirt. :D

The MusicAid stuff on the other hand is a lot closer to these prices as
are many vintage synths. Maybe the time for a real Simmons revival is
around the corner...
