Jokeyman123 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just noticed one of these on one of those big auction websites, blew me away! Apparently this was a series of CK Casios. This was the big boy of the bunch. I'm watching it...hey don't laugh I still have over 200 cassettes all around the house, and a rare Vestax MR100 which still works, although i did need to replace the belts once. https://review.wolfarchitects.design/casio-ck-500-keyboard-1985/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The Casio wonders never cease. The other day someone in the Facebook group dug up an ultra rare model never seen in the US, the Casio Cosmotone CST-2000 organ. Look up that one if you missed it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 (edited) Wow brad you are right, there is barely nothing about this one, Google isn't my friend. Most posts if at all are in italian. I found a poorly scanned copy of the manual-a few pictures and one for sale last year for 4000 zar, whatever that is. A full double manual console organ, complete with swell pedal and bass foot pedals, looks like a very interesting Casio. Even has a 4-track sequencer from what I'm reading. Looks pretty nice but aside from one shabby video on Youtube showing a repair and a few pictures almost nothing is showing up-google keeps finding the CTK-2000 instead. Dumb Google! and then there's this....what a setup! I know others have posted, I've never found a full picture of the entire system put together though. Now this is a Casio to beat all Casios!! This has got to be the crown in the collector's corner. I've only seen pieces of thsi come up for auction, a shame. bet it sounded pretty amazing. I'm checking Youtube now for demos. We're snowed in her in NE PA, have some time to looky-look. https://www.matrixsynth.com/2008/04/casio-symphonytron-8000.html But then, I found this-good lord....tried to find a price for it. Can't. And i thought Wersi was out of business a long time ago, did have some synthes that were quite different. But I'll stop this is getting out of control. What a magnificent keyboard if it can be called that. Whew.... Edited January 18 by Jokeyman123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Simon the Magpie has recently uploaded a video covering the baby CK200 model. He also has the CK500, and the Super cool KX-101 Boombox. I've wanted a KX101 for ages but like many weird vintage Casios, prices have gone through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Talk about from one extreme to the other...and yes Chas, too much "predatory" selling lately. I see this not just with Casio, but with just about everything lately on e**** and Reverb too. And I found prices for these Wersi's at their website and it ain't pretty. The one above lists for 49,000 euros which will mean 1.09 US X 49,000. Guess i won't be adding that to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design looks like a bigger version of Casio DM-100, but according to the preset sound list it also seems to have a PD sound source.
