Casio CZ-1000

One of Casio's PD (Phase Distortion) synths from the mid-80's, this is the same synth as the CZ-101, but with full-sized keys. In proper 80's fashion, it also includes knobs on the ends for attaching a guitar strap - the output is even mounted on the end for your keytar convenience. It can run on 6 "D" batteries or a center-ground 9V DC adapter.

I wasn't looking for one, but got it in trade for something I wasn't using, and have always been curious about "the Casio that was". It's definitely interesting and fun, and even under normal circumstances the smaller CZ's tend to go pretty cheap, so could be worth checking out for fans of digital sounds.
