Hi, all-
Yeah, the Opus 3 gets my vote for bad. I have one,
and it lives up to it's reputation. It came complete
with disintegrating oily foam under the control panel,
and the plastic top panel label uniformly shrunk to
the point that some controls would not move. After
much cleaning, solder touch-up & adjusting it KINDA
works. And was the organ sound an afterthought?
