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 
Machine, we were playing "We Are The Robots" both on air, and in the 
Clubs and got to see them in N.Y. courtest of Capitol, and I 
remember seeing a 400 on stage, or so I thought. But who remembers 
the 70's? Doug
