Same to you (and all) JWB.  I had a good one and put some serious cash for
MOTM in my pocket.

Well, at least those people could add and do understand that we are still
365 days away from the new millennium.  <grin>  Or course, there is still
that "early calendar error thing" to consider.

By George, I think you have it.  I have the operation manual for the Juno
60, which is essentially the same as the 6.  If you think any of it would
be useful, I would be happy to copy any or all of it.  It is not that thick
as (for the most part), these are fairly simple (but good sounding)
machines.  Probably one of the most useful part for Juno 6 owners would be
the panel drawing you can copy and use to "save" your patches, ala MOTM
style.  In fact, the actual parameter settings for the original factory
sounds of the Juno 60 are all listed so you can dial them in.  SOME of them
are pretty good (like that simple Genesis style organ patch).

Later,
Stooge Larry

Which I agree with, but that also leads to this being the last year of both 
the 20th century and the 1990s, which is even more confusing.

Hey Larry! I finally realized why they call the instrument a Juno 6 -- as in 
six voice polyphony. It took me a few days after the 4051 must mean 8 voice 
for me to get it!

I might just take you up on that, just out of curiosity's sake! I've been 
using this one mainly with complex (usually VC) pulse division clocking the 
appeggiator, which can get very sequencer like (can't imagine why they didn't 
build a sequencer into this thing).

I'm still trying to get a tape together for you, so no hurry!
