Attatchin a link to me messin with it, can't belive it work's!http://www.sendspace.com/file/4v9xk5

oh my fuck......... 
Equipped you a very lucky man indeed!! These things are pure analogue phatness with fuckin 48 note polyphony! it's heaving dude 
You've got yourself one very valuable piece of equipent there bro, I knopw where someone is selling a fully restored PS-3200, which is the next model up for £5000 
so one like yours is probably gonna be in the region of £1000 - £2000 worth.
I'd highly recommend getting it serviced by a professional who can clean it all up cosmetically and give it an electronics overhall.
I'd love to hear some sound examples!

cheers for the feedback ol man Crushfuck, allway's good to see your still creepin around. Your right this unit is not as sought after as the other two versions, has a few major drawback's compared ect. but im shure you know i aint complainin, forshure hope to get this beast fully restored if possible, its in fairly good condition, id say 70% working, and the 48 note polyphony is outta sight, pure treat's, will forshure sort the sample situation, just scratchn the surface. cheers.

I don't know this one but it looks like a big pro version of an MS-20. Yay this is just too good to be true, you often hear of ppl having these monster synths rotting away in the attic without knowing what they are worth, apparently it is true
Wait i'm going to look up some specs on it and look at your vid

Yay it's something really special. It has an enormeous amount of polyphony, having a seperate circuit for every key which is extraordinary for an analog synth. That is the reason it is so heavy
You might have some keys that are not working properly, but you can probably swap out a lot of the circuitry if you don't mind missing out on eg the top keys.
I saw some pics of the interior which is quite an overwhelming amount of wires. That's also a good thing, you might find some broken or loose wires in there which can be easily replaced, and might fix some stuff.
It looks a modular synth with the most useful patching hardwired, which is the same idea as the MS-20 (if you don't plug in any patch cords it works as a 'normal' analog synth). The patching makes it really flexible and you can do all kinds of fun stuff with it, try patching in some hardware filters or distortion pedals, or even using your software plugins as inserts.
Hehe just saw the video, noooise
It also has an arpeggiator, nice 
I wouldn't sell it mate, this is a once in a lifetime chance you got having it dropped in your lap like that. You would regret selling it afterwards
