First time posting...

I bought my X620 at a pawn shop in 1998 for about $200, and although I had never heard anything about it, it was definitely love at first sight. After a 5 year hiatus (don't ask) I'm finally playing again, and my love is just as strong as the day I first brought it home. I have a few questions...

I have never used the modules seriously, and at this point they seem to not be working. Is it worth it to figure out what's wrong and get them up and running?

I have no intention of selling mine, but I can't help but wonder what these sell for. Anyone know?

The module contacts tend to corode and can be cleaned with an eraser. Opinions differ on the quality of the modules so try them yourself. If you go to the home page there is a link to a section on the modules that alow you to here samples of them.

Well, it seems to depend a lot on condition, whether the MPC ciruits work or not, how many MPC modules are included, OHSC or no, etc. In general, it seems like many go in the $500 - $700 range on eBay. I paid a good bit less for one missing the neck pickup, the case, and with a non-working MPC circuit. Put in a different neck pickup, and now it rules.
