Mission complete

The black DX5 case came after the other two cases and dropped the DX logo after the name YAMAHA.

Yamaha made 3 hard cases out of fiberglass for their synthesizers. These were designed to protect the DX1, DX5, and DX7 respectively. This set was 18 years on the making -Mission accomplished!

You peaked my curiosity

I first saw the Casio CK-500 in 1985. It’s still until now the only keyboard I know of with dual cassette players. Dubbing from tape to tape was quite a big deal in the mid 1980’s and I was very tempted to buy this novel machine. Unfortunately those mini keys were a little unprofessional so I gave it a miss. It’s still a rather cool toy to have, even for someone who cant play.

Famous Holy Grail of Vintage Star Wars figures

Worth their weight in gold!

Jawa’s are scavengers that featured first in Star Wars episode IV- “A New Hope” (1977). As an action figure he was significantly smaller than most but sold for the same price. Seen as having less value he was unpopular, so Kenner (the manufacturer), revised his vinyl cape into a real cloth one. As such the vinyl capes had a short production run and remain extremely rare.
