The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

Congrats Antonie.make sure you service your new synth before you 
play with it to much.You might have to clean up some gas damage and 
100% for sure change the battery.You invested in a awsome synth i 
strongly suggest you invest just a little bit more and have it moded 
to take A A ion battery.It will cost you little and you will never 
have to worry about damage to your synth from the battery ever again 
or worry about loosing patches you make.

That sx240 was the only one I have seen on ebay as long as I been a 
member here.When I first got here I was offered a few sx210's and I 
stronlgy was leaning toward one.I almost gave up on a sx240 but i 
lucked out.My sx240 is near mint cosmetic and working 100% problem 
free.

I suggest anyne looking for a sx240 and cant fnd one to consider the 
meaner sounding little brother the sx210.
