This was a bit of a suprise, but one of the U.Ks big music retailers
www.turnkey.co.uk have set up a section on their website which has vintage synths for sale.

Even Prophet VS rack is only a bit more expensive. Such a shame if there exists a price comparison between THESE two devices. Obvious, I'd prefer Prophet to TR909 for that amount of money.

Yes, you do have to wonder about their prices

All with that typical Turnkey PRICE HIKE - used to go there in the 80's there were WAY OVERPRICED then too.

Argh, they used to have all of this on display in their shop. I went down to London a month ago to see if they still had it, but it had gone. This is obviously what they've done.

They had it as a Sample room,If you bought a Hardware Sampler off them(New and in excess of £1k)Then you could use the Analog Synths to create your own sample library,they allowed you one hours recording and you could sample as many sounds as you wanted in that time,they also had a guy who would patch up sounds for you,if you didn't know how to use the Modulars(and was also there to make sure you didn't knacker them up)
I bet there selling it all off now as the Hardware Sampler market is dying,and it obviously was taking up valuable shopfloor space..as it was a non profit display..and only really used by potential sampler buyers
I think the Prices are way over the top!!!!

It reminds me, that I have never seen anybody on forums like vintagesynthexplorer having Moog Modulars.

I've seen quite a few studios with Moog Modulars, although they are very expensive (specially to maintain) and rare.

I've only once seen a real one, but that was a pretty small moog modular. But modular is modular, isn't it
