Just picked up this bad boy at the local Salvation Army:
It's a Technics SX-PX-55M. I think all Technics keyboards went out of production 10 years ago, and this could easily be 20 years old. If it breaks, I'm screwed. But... It all works! All the keys, all the other buttons, the speakers, the headphone jack, the midi out. Even the wood veneer is in pretty good shape, especially after some furniture polish. I cleaned the keys with a damp rag, but I might try to clean them some more somehow. Also came with a bench. The built in sounds are sort of meaningless to me - PCM of course, but they're not bad - actually sounded better than the two real console pianos that were there.
I've been wanting to have a weighted key midi controller for a while, and this is a little heavy, but definitely fills the bill. Also, I want my daughter to learn to play the piano, and now I can force her to learn in an overbearing, future-therapy-need-causing way - I'm so excited!
