Hey you got a deal , Cyclones sell on eBay for between $75 and $175.

The model line was called Perf/X and Oberheim made 5 models, each
which did something different. The Cyclone was the arpeggiator and
for its time was very advanced in its feature set. Today software
does more but if you have any outboard hardware synths, the Cyclone
can make some nice music.

BAD NEWS Without a manual you will not be able to figure out how it
works because the interface is real cryptic, hey its hard even with a
mumanual

GOOD NEWS - I have an extra photocopy of the manual laying around and
if you don't live outside the US , I'll send it to you gratis if you
email me your address off line bcomnes@... - The only price I
want you to pay is to donate a few bucks (the postage cost) to some
street musician bustin his ass to pay his bills

and I guess if you sell it on eBay with the manual you should pay
another street musician a few more bucks for your good fortune - it's
all up to your conscience

Peace
