Today I found a Rhodes Early Version 2 Keyboard.
It has 4 speakers and 2 amps built into it.

It is in outstanding condition.


Does anyone know what it is worth?

You found a suitcase Rhodes...BIG SUITCASE.

It's like the one I sold UD. He paid $1,000.00 for it in pretty good condition.

I paid $1550.00 for one in a little better condition last year.

Russ,
I think I did. It is in really good shape. So, what do you do with one of these if you have one?? I found it at an estate sale today.

I might be able to get pictures tomorrow and maybe even do a video of me playing it.

Fender was bought by CBS in 1965. Any instruments built before that were pre CBS.

Fran,
That looks a lot like it - I don't remember the color. Here is a youtube link
to one that also looks like it. I'll find out tomorrow and post some pics.
