Bought this on a whim and then got sick. I love G70s so much this is my fourth one, but as always, the bulk and weight make it impossible for me to gig with. This is a beauty in excellent playing condition. Just a few minor scratches on the end caps. PCMCIA adapter included with Manual, music rack, and power cable.

This is most probably the best arranger workstation Roland has ever made. Solid. 73 semi-weighted keys, beautiful operating system, color touch screen. Not many of these beauties left out there. Get this ne while you can.

Will sell to SZ member for $1000 plus actual shipping. Firm.

Why would I need a backup...I never had a Roland go down yet smile Actually never had a keyboard go down (any brand).. I had power failures not the fault of the keyboard.

I also had poor performance glitches... the worst the keyboard going silent when polyphony is used up (Yamaha)… silence for several seconds shocked

And a G800 that kept rebooting... turned out to be a short in a power strip. grin

Wouldn't it be nice to have one G70 setup in your home studio and one in a roadcase ready to go ? And if that unfortunate breakdown does happen it may be hard to reapair a 20 yrs old keyboard.
I'm good at spending other peoples money.

Funny thing the 20 yr old G70 has a touch screen and the
newer BK9/5 etc, & EA7 doesn't?..
Hmmmmmm? what was Roland thinking? confused1

I think Roland got scared by slim sales of a TOTL arranger keyboard. Lots of ways to cut corners and price. I would love a touchscreen and harmonizer but am still happy with the BK9.
