Thanks for the offer Don - a bit too far away though.

Looks as though it's got to be a used model or nothing then. The reason I prefer new, Diki, is if Roland do a Technics and leave me with the last board in the line, it has to last as long as possible - more chance of that with a new one which has had no rough treatment. Yes, Some guys do mistreat keyboards (and kids too) although you'ld think they wouldn't.
In the meantime - WAKE UP ROLAND! - we're waiting! Also waiting for Ketron to replace the steam age Floppy Disk on the SD3 with a USB port so that I can retire my MS40.
