Looking for some advice before purchasing a Mk 1 Rhodes.

Hello! I’m pretty new to electric pianos but it’s always been my dream to own a Rhodes. I’ve been saving up for 1 and finally have enough to make a purchase.

There’s one that’s caught my eye for about 2.7k.

It looks to be an early mk 1 judging by the inclusion of fender on the main logo. It also has the logo in the box around the input jack.

I’m waiting for the seller to send me a picture of the stamp to determine the exact year.

He says it’s had work done on it, my main question is how much does replacing the hammers or tines affect the price? Is it common for most Rhodes to have a lot of replacement parts due to their age and it 2.7k a good price for something that’s been restored and seems to be “concert ready”?

Here is a video that was sent to me. It sounds good to my ear. Should I also request a picture of the inside? And if so what are some things to look out for?

Any tips and suggestions are much appreciated!

How trustworthy is choicefineart?

I’ve been looking to get in the recent vfx storyboard sale for return of the Jedi from choicefineart. They seem very trustworthy but a coworker who told me about the site just got his order and it seem almost unbelievable. While these are obviously photocopy scans it’s almost hard to believe they’re from 45 years ago. The paper feels like new and not like it’s been sitting around in a binder for decades. Isn’t common for these sort of items to be in literal pristine condition? I understand it’s not the original hand drawn storyboard but the listing implies it’s an original print made for internal use while filming ROTJ.

Any help or input would be much appreciated!

Upgrading from an Oculus CV1 - Pimax Crystal Light or Super?

Hello! I recently got a new PC with 5090 and a 9550x3D. I’ve been using a CV1 oculus up until now and I’m trying to pick out a good upgrade. My biggest concerns are fov and image clarity, specifically MURA as those were my biggest negatives with the CV1.

I’m trying to decide between the crystal light or the super.

I’m worried about the MURA on the super which makes me want the Light but I really like the ability to upgrade with the Super and I’m afraid I’ll just end up buying another headset if I get the light at this point in the game.

Should I spring for the super or get something else entirely like the BSBE2?

Any advice or anecdotes would be much appreciated! I generally use VR evenly between room scale stuff like Skyrim, RE etc and sit down sim stuff like MSFS, elite, Star Wars squadron etc

Thanks!
