paul,
amazing !  gee, i have an excellent condition hardback copy of "electronic 
music circuit guidebook" by brice ward that has most of those schemo`s in it. 
wonder if i should try to sell it on e-bay. its not like i use it 
anymore..........

re : moog manual - i have a moog 15 instruction book but its only about 30 
pages. i haven`t looked at it in a long time. if any moog owners on the list 
can use it, they should contact me......
best,
dave v.

Especially since all that stuff is on the web these days...

Somebody just sold a PAiA construction manual on eBay for $202!

What exactly was this beast?  Was it just the construction plans for all
their old 2700/4700/88700 modules?
When I got my old non-working PAiA modules, I purchased a complete set of
copies of those manuals from PAiA for $45.  I gave it away with my PAiA
when I sold that.

Hell, who has time to read anyway..

It just goes to show how many uninformed buyers there are out there, even with the
resources of the web available.

One of these went for > $350 on ebay recently.  Actually, it is 280+ pages and a
very good manual at that.  [No, I wasn't the sucker who bought the one on eBay...]

Actually, this is what Paul was referring to on eBay (never trust the eBay 
headers... people put anything in there to attract searchers).  Another 
person bought this same book for $91, and it is now on another auction 
starting at $150!  I too have a copy of this book, and it is mediocre at 
best.  A perfect condition paperback.  I think its eBay time!  However, I 
won't part with my Electronic Music book by Strange or my Arp 2500 owner's 
manual; too much sentimental value.

Wonder what my set of Arp owners and service manuals would go for?

If you think that's bad, check out this guy's other auction...

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=351394109

and for $3.20, he'll ship it to you! -Nate

PS: ebay is WAY out of control...

Pretty funny description of this item.  Wonder why he would waste the money 
to advertise what is basically a joke.

Interesting that this is a guy that I've seen selling quite a few "vintage" 
electronic musical instruments.

ivan,
ditto....my 2nd edition strange book is a constant companion. (now my 1st 
edition copy would go for the right price)  likewise, my appleton / perera 
and wells / vogel books are probably with me forever.  howe and trytall 
books, i go back and forth about.
