Members Axe Victim Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Good day. Just want some input, if you please, on a recent retro gear purchase. I have one of these which I paid $40 for. It seems to work just fine. Junk or treasure? What say you? The way at look at it, if nothing else, I gave $40 to the Salvation Army. Model = YC30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Axe Victim Posted September 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nice!!! I've played a YC-20 tons of times... imagine this is just as good or better. I found on on ebay in Australia. 12 bids, $475 AUS which I think is around $450US.It doesn't matter what they're worth, my kids both play keys. It won't be for sale.

Members Plink Floyd Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Nice! You got a great deal. If you got the stand & pedal, you're golden. All the YC line are highly regarded by 'combonauts'. I see very few for sale. Compared to the other brands of combo organs from that era, the Yamahas are most likely to function. Does the 'portamento strip' work? That looks like funky thereminic fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing works great and is in amazing condition. Holy crap does it weigh a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franz Schiller Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 For forty bucks that's a freaking steal. But what a find! Definitely treasure. Its fate. You need to keep it. I hate it when people are like, "well I can flip it for twice the cash." What jerks. When a good instrument is at a Salvation Army for cheap, that's the universe holding it for "that special somebody". Like some talented kid, who's got no cash. So you should keep it. It's meant for you. If you don't think it is, then sell it to someone who deserves it for the same price. Do the right thing, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both appreciate vintage gear. Thanks for the feedback guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
