This week I've an offer from 2 guys that would like to sell Rhodes to me at the same time

one person have Mk2 Suit case
another one have EK10 (Mint) but may be have some problem about electronic board

What should I pick and what should be the price? Please recommend.

I think I will be the first of many to say, GET THE EK10!! I'm not really sure what a fair price for it would be, but you really don't see those much at all.

EK10 with "some problem about electronic board"
sounds to me like your entering a world of pain.

mk2 suitcase however..
i've got one and i love it
Yes, I even love those plastic keys!

Thanks guy for the input. I cannot select it at this moment Coz' both option have Pro & Con. At this moment totally drive by obsession.

on second thought jus is probably right.
you can pick up a suitcase almost any day.
An EK10 is a much rarer find.

Mark 7 is very attractive Martin....but I've addicted to the "Vintage trend" already

martin

just think tho, they will be perfect even and smooth, whever there vintage or not doesnt matter. if you want a vintage sound buy a vintage amp....

EK10? If it was me I'd avoid it. Rare? yes. Good? Not really.

EK10s all have some problem with the electronic board by design.
