Hi Alex  pardon my nosiness here so if you don't wish to answer either 
to me directly on on the list I'll understand, but what sort of price 
range are we looking at there my friend, and is your choice of DEC-Talk 
just a preference, or for some other reasons is it essential that your 
synth be a DEC-Squaclk. 
By essential I mean, do you have a hearing impairment or other 
disability which makes the DEC-Squalk easier for you to use and more 
preferable than other synths, reason I ask is because from I've seen in 
the used synth market of late, other models like the Accent SA, Artic 
Transport, etc, are usually priced cheaper in this market than are 
DEC-Talks of any sort. So, if you could live with using another synth 
I'd probably search for other models in edition to the DEC-Squalk if 
price and the bottom line are the primary criterium of your search.
Hth!
