Roland Piano Plus HP-70 for $150: Should I get this?

[valacirca]

I saw this at a local thrift-shop selling used for ~$150.

It's a straightforward wooden keyboard without all the presets and stuff of modern models. It only has 2 piano and 2 harpsichord presets, but I thought it was pretty nifty since it's got a sustain knob and a chorus feature that can be the source of a bit of ambient droney noodlings. I'd imagine some fun could be had using this thing with the Cathedral and Memory Boy; maybe even with the Big Muff.

I got to try it out as it was and through an amp and it sounded pretty cool. All the keys, knobs and buttons seemed to be working. I left it there for the meantime while I sit around and consider if I'm gonna buy it or not

Thoughts?

Seems a little high to me. I don't know.

I and my friends spent 30 minutes trying in one of our local music store this piano. We and the other two customers really like the sound. Obviously, very appealing. This is a very good acoustic piano. it has all the featuresIt violin, drums, acoustic and electric guitar sounds are very good.
