If anyone is interested, I would still love to do some sort of "oddities and obscurities" page that isn't just the usual rehash of Mark Vail's book. If any inquiring minds want to know, know, or want to help, just gimme an e-mail or post something short to AH. PS I have this Moog Liberation that is unlike any other I have seen. It was Tom Coster(Santana's Keyboardist)'s and looks as if it was a one off from the factory. It has an extra switch on the neck, along with a pitch-bend WHEEL instead of a ribbon. What makes me think that it is more than a hot rodded piece is that the plactic covering on the neck is standard Moog, but fits with the extra switch and wheel. Does anybody know 1. Did the factory produce some Liberations with these extra's. 2. How could I tell if these things were added later(they don't APPEAR to have been) 3. Where the heckles can I get cinch-jones connector cables? A friend of mine who used to repair those carbonation/dispensor machines at bars said that THOSE used to use them, but he hadn't seen one in ages. Well, thanks Joe West
