Some facts:
The re-issue series was assempled in late 2008, sold in 2009, limited to 777 units. It's nicely built,within the same steel case as the original, same graphics, only supplemented with two LEDs and a power jack for a 9V wall wart. The circuit differs quite a lot from the 1970s' originals which results in a different phase effect, more droning out and pulsating heavily - though noodling around with the two knobs to the left will lead to some tasteful sounds. If you happen to find one for less than $250 it's definitely a "must buy".
