I still have a CZ-101 and CZ-1000 ... I love those old digital synths. But I guess that is just why I maintain a website like Synth Zone.
The CZ-101 was the first Casio synth I bought, and I actually helped the local dealer (who was selling out of his home at the time) to sell them.
The CZ-101 was and still is a "little monster" of a synth...the CZ-1000 was the full size key version.
I used to wear the CZ-1000 as a keytar, as it would also run on batteries, was very light, and had places for guitar strap buttons.
The sound was
glorious, especially if you ganged the oscillators into one monstrous
mono sound (two
doubled patches!)...the distortion electric guitar patch, I got out of
Keyboard Magazine, was awesome, and even did convincing
feedback.
You have some prizes with those instruments, Nigel...they are a bit scarce and are destined to become very good collectibles.
