if i tried for 3 sdx's the wife would throw me out but three is a good number (3 motorbikes 3 mountainbikes etc)
anyway my first sdx belonged to gil gilson ex squeeze and now in jools holland big band 
second machine does not have any history but came with orifinal discs manual and the rack and a few spares too so seemed a good idea
both are maxed out with ram and hardrives

got me thinking it time to play them as i've working solid for the past month

oh and big props to tangerine dream

  Cool! =) Famous gear is cool but often comes in a rotten physical
  condition...

  Sure! My SDS-2 is ex Joy Division/New Order (since there is only one), but
  the rest I have no idea about. But to top this I can mention my EPU that was
  hand built for Tangerine Dream and also only exists in one copy...
