Sorry I sent this just to Mike a few minutes ago.  I mint to send it to the list.  It is important to point out you can still use these serial synths if you have a USB to serial adapter.  I used my LT till I blew out the chip on it.   I still use my express though.

Keith,

I have a collection of hardware synths. I have a Dolphin Apollo, a Dolphin Juno, and a couple of DECTalks.

I would happily take the DoubleTalk off you hands.

I am in the UK. So if you're on the other side of the water, it may be outrageously expensive to ship it.

Mike
