You can imagine I wasn't the only person interested in buying this unit so
I had to pay a little more than I had in mind. 710 euro.

Yes it has a lot of FM power!

I found a relatively new Windows based editor. My plan is to try it and at
the same time try to capture and analyse the SysEx messages it is
sending.
That should make reverse-engineering a little bit more easy. I hope. I
want to know how this beast works internally.

A service manual is good to have. thanks for the link, I will go after it.
Maybe I need to change a battery and I should check for bad capacitors.
But from the outside it seems to be in good condition and it sounds and
functions perfectly after my first tests.

Not very likely, and not very soon, but who knows ... :-)
