Roland Juno 6. In Dublin, Ireland.

How I got it
I wasn't really sure what this was when it appeared, so it sat in Buy & Sell for at least a week before I went to see it. How it wasn't sold is beyond me, but I eventually showed up at a house and met a father selling his son's old keyboard. He sat quietly in the room whilst I donned headphones and listened for the first time to a Juno 6. I hummed and hawed to myself about its odd sound and then decided to take it home. Taking it home involved getting the DART (train) and then wheeling it two and a half miles on top of my bicycle.
When I got home I was pleased, realising just what a fantastic synth it really was (jebus - the arpeggiator). This would be my favourite poly synth for thick, warm, relaxing pads. The near mint condition is kind of nice too.

I bring to you the Roland Logo in EPS format. If you know what this is you'll be slightly interested. If you don't then you've read far too much.

Schematics
The synth.clara.net links below appear to be broken. I've uploaded the files that I assume I pinched off clara.net before the vanishing act. No idea who really made them or where else they are on the web, but if you were looking for them then I guess they're here.
