And if I hadn't been robbed more than once and had the room, I probably still have them all (including some that I had more than one at the same time and others that were in storage/repair more than play) plus the non-synth boards like Rhodes, Clavinet, Vox, etc.

I know I did a "Wags" here, but it was fun and this IS KVR.

Pan Toys MC-7 when I was 6 or smtg around that age.

Features: everything made from squarewave, programmable analogue! rhythm, 2 note polyphonic!

It had a built-in speaker which later I transplanted to my own DIY boombox :D

With friends, we used it to record a few avantgarde-electronica :hihi: albums in primary school.
Good old times.

Radio Shack/Realistic/Moog Concertmate MG-1. My dad bought it back in '81 because he thought it would be cool to mess around with, and I basically took ownership of it.

my uncle who i got the yamaha off had something that looked similar, but we don't have radio shack? so not sure how he would have one.
i wasn't allowed near that, although after he went away to the army, he came back one time on leave, with a buchla easel. i got about 5 mins with that :cry:

he has some sort of moog these days, but lives overseas, so i don't care :lol:

Maybe it was a Moog Rogue or Prodigy?
