Just for the record, that's a passenger side bucket seat from a Camaro, plucked off the side of the road courtesy of a Craig's List curb alert.

As for passion, that's an easy one when working with the quality of Nord instruments, and most especially the PERSONNEL WHO DESIGN/BUILD/SUPPORT THEM! In my next life I want to be Swedish.

2 G2X, 1 G2, 2 G2E, all expanded. For regular modulars, two Micros, one Rack and three keyed.

But most of this came about by stumbling onto deals which were simply too good to pass up, and/or wounded birds in need of attention. And unlike spending money on "rice-burner" kbds, these will not decrease in value over time. I'm not actively trying to sell anything at the moment, but that's mainly because I'm too busy/lazy to post an ad somewhere. Eventually I will let go of a really cherry G2X which I've effectively rebuilt with new keybed, new chassis parts, and cleaned/refurbed the PCBs as needed (couple rotary controls / pots which were acting up, etc.). One of the Modular Keys is similar, with NOS mainboard and panelboard PCBs, and fitted with new reverse keys keybed. Someday when I have a surplus of time on hands or desperately need quick cash, those will be listed on eBay.

Great article!

'Legend' is an over-used term these days, but in Pablo's case it's truly warranted.
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for his commitment to help others, and after seeing his personal collection, respect him even more!

I prefer to keep my ego small, but thanks Marlowes for this observation. This is indeed something which helps me to feel good about myself and know that at least in some small part of the world I am doing something positive for others.
