CatSynth pic: Yamaha DX7 Synth ExtraS

Via matrixsynth (originally from an auction):

“YAMAHA DX7 SYNTH EXTRAS. Original list price $2195 EXTRAS(see pics)3 CARTRIDGES, PADDED “PROTECT” CASE, YAMAHA VOLUME/MODULATOR/SUSTAIN 3 PEDALS, MIDI CORD.”

How the mighty have fallen! When I first got into synthesizers back in the mid 1980s, the Yamaha DX7 was the instrument to have – and at that list price out of reach for most teens. Now they go for about $250 on eBay. And they are no longer all that interesting. I do have a TX802 but have rarely used it.

  1. Good old days?? Sometimes I wonder.
    The advances in technology have been great ,
    making ‘now’ a good time to be!!
    Bet your synths are smaller,do more and sound better.
    As for the price… 🙂

  2. Too bad they aren’t ‘antiques’. Then they’ll go for a whole lot more.
