AJ, I was interested if it was a steal[ I couldn't resist]..Since I don't need another, I decided to let you guys have it...hopefully , you can get it at a bargain bid.

BTW..Did I tell you guys Casio wanted $227 to special order the Casio AD-16 adapter..

$227 ? I'm not sure I even think of the words that would do my opinion of that any justice. Well, I can think of 'em I guess, but I don't necessarily wanna put them here and get banned.

Seriously, if I get another MZ and need a replacement adaptor, I'd have to look at the specs and go with a different option for replacment, even if that meant basically building part or all of it
myself.

AJ, I used the Yamaha PA-300 adapter..same specs..Gary told me it would work...I borrowed UD's...It worked...I ordered a new one from George Kaye....and than located the missing Casio Adapter...Now I have a Yamaha PA-300 adapter, available...new in the box....anyone?

That'sood to know Fran. I have so many adapters and power supplies here ( I never seem to discard any of them ) that it's likely I'd find something right here that would work.

4 hours to go on Ebay.. and holding my breathe that it doesn't get bid up too high.

AJ

AJ, a reminder, you have 21 minutes left in the MZ auction...work it out in the last minute[I have it down pat, I usually get it done in the last 10 seconds]..Good luck..

Bernie and RB ..are you guys on the same page...are you guys working together and not against each other,,,Communication?

Congrats to AJ...a new MZ2000 owner again..

AJ it wasn't meant to be a steal...but I think it's worth the money you paid...

My cousin at WestGate Music wanted me to thank you guys for running the bid up in the last two minutes.....[Just kidding]..

Thanks Fran.

I sat and thought about it last night and all morning today, and figured about 500 or so was about as far as I wanted to go, so I guess I came in pretty close. I also guessed that anything much less than that probably wouldn't get it done. Not bad I guess for my first ever Ebay transaction.

Well, this officially takes me out of the running for a new arranger, for this year anyway. They're all great boards I'm sure, but for the amount of use I'd get from them, I'm just not interested in spending what the T2, G70, or PA1x go for. I'm just not enough of an arranger player to justify the expense. Perhaps if the new Ketron is a successor to the XD9, or a successor to the PSR3000 comes along, and I like it enough, I'll climb " back into the race ".

I'm already preparing to get back to working on rebuilding my soundfont. Aside from having great organ and synth sounds for an arranger, I always thought that the MZ was the most efficient of any arranger for modifying and making new styles. At least I like it as lot better than the PA80 or PSR's in this regard.

Now I can focus on using my next laptop strictly as a sound module, with the MZ also capable of serving as the midi controller and arranger data playback machine. For as much as I wanted OMB to work out for me, ( and it does to a point ), it's a lot easier when I'm not trying to run both an arranger app and control sound module's from within the same computer.
