That console synth JPJ is playing was EXPENSIVE!
Did a lot of things well, but the list price was the equivalent of $450k today!
It was also a beast. Weighed as much as a baby grand piano. (A 6 footer) I bet it wasn't popular among the crew! :
As it was pre-MIDI most keyboardists aren't interested in them anymore. But, I've seen them up for auction with a $100k asking price. Only about 70 were ever made, and the majority went to studios & college music programs in Japan.
So maybe it will get near that asking price.
The dichotomy of JPJ playing that super high price rig while Page is playing that crappy Danelectro is amusing
