The Ortek battlecruiser! These are loads of fun. Looks like it's in good condition as well, with the original box and foam.

I agree it's unique. For what it's worth, tho, stuff's either "unique" or it's not. You can't modify an absolute, dig?

Well, every different keyboard model is unique, but this is more unique than most :-0

Like Chyros, I'm a big sucker for original boxes. This one looks to be in good condition, and I have a handful of blue Alps I salvaged from an old DC-2014, so I'm thinking of transplanting them.

Only problem is my soldering skills, which verge on appalling. I already killed my FK-9000 attempting something similar last year.  :(
