Just one comment: Don't trade a ship wreck for another boat that is 
leaking already...

No Polymoogs or Memorymoogs (exception LAMM). An ARP 2600 must be in 
excellent shape - especially in regards of the faders. An Oberheim 
Fourvoice (or even Eightvoice) might be soundwise an equivalent exchange 
for a CS80, but also these are very risky investments...

I think the environmental conditions in Brazil (humidity temperatur) can 
be extremely difficult for all this old gear. Mostly all connectors and 
potentiometers of the old gear may not stand such conditions over a 
longer time.
