Yamaha DX-7 for free.

In no more than 20 words PM me please on why you want this keyboard. Its boxed in a flight case, ready to go. Both flight case and DX-7 have been extensively gigged, so don't expect mint. DX-7 worked last time I used it, but that was over 15 years ago. Likely needs a new battery. Buttons all work, but case plastic end face places damaged on one side, I'll not lie, it needs a bit of TLC, hence free, but its just been sitting in my garage and I'm having a clear out.

Must be able to pay shipping, or collect, from North of Scotland... and its very heavy.

 

The weight of the Yamaha - DX 7 is 14.2 kg (H x W x D): 103 x 1020 x 330 mm.

 

@PulseWave Add on the fight case, and my back has never recovered....

 

Also it comes from North of Scotland,
Look for taxes.

 

but is not sale, is Gift.....?

 

Some places still require you to declare the actual value of the goods, so they can slap some extra taxes on top even if it's a gift. I hope you find someone who's willing to get it directly from your hands, that would be the best case. I hope it finds a good home!

 

And folks say the Scots are stingy...

Nice one

 

Worth it for the interior of the fight case alone.... Seriously though just so you know what your getting into, I just took a photo.

 

I need your broken DX-7 to prove to the state psychiatrist that I'm actually insane to collect extra pension money!

20 words..
No less,
No more.

 

Ye wull need a tumbler o' irn bru (made fae girders) tae pick this up

Translated: you will need a glass of irn bru (made from girders) to pick this up

 

...made for girders....

 

I still remember taking my Jupiter-4 and PPG 2.3 to gigs... that was some really hard labour. But I was in great shape, thankfully.
Having said that, all keyboards of that time, but especially all analogue ones were quite heavy, except DX-21, CZ-101, Alpha Juno, Korg 707...
and tiny gems like Roland MT-32.

Once helped a friend lug his keyboards into his new rehearsal space - up some impossibly steep and narrow stairs! The Oberheim was a killer. Think it was an OBXa but can't be sure. I made sure I wasn't available when he needed to lug them all back down again.
