The old SAS-20 was one of the first arrangers that sounded reasonably professional...a great keyboard in it's day.
Personally, I think Roland's E-20 was the first really pro sounding arranger, along with Korg's I-series (I remember the I-3 had a wicked sax sound).
Yamaha had to wait until the PSR-8000 before they were in step with the others, in my opinion.
What was the price of the SAS-20 when new, Donny?
I wonder how it would compare, in today's dollars, to the PSR-S910 or it's equivalent?

If I remember correctly I think I paid New $699.00 for the SAS20 arranger in 1983..... it also came with optional style discs that plugged into a slot on the rear. Before that it was a stack of 3 or 4 Kb's... I also used the i3 for a long while on stage also when it arrived.....great 8 &16 bar styles and some awesome sounds too...built like a tank too. BTW look at the size of those 18" Cervin Vega speaks, and the Roland JC120 in the back
