In excellent condition and working good. This model does not come up so often and was not a kit like the Moog Melodia. It uses a standard plug and not batteries. Mail for photos. $1600 + shipping. Very collectable!

Pesonally, I think $560 is a bit high for a troubadour.

Sorry... you and your link are wrong. If you want to compare photos of this last Ebay one to the one I'm selling check out this link.

Also... you disagree with the price which is certainly ok, but what are you basing your disagreement on?
I'm "guessing" the beat up one on Ebay in which the seller states doesn't work.

The early models like the Troubadour are not as playable as the modern Etherwave standard, which can be had for under $500 brand new with warranty. An Etherwave Pro, which is leaps and bounds better than a Troubadour, can be had for around $1400.

Troubadours and Melodias, although collectable, are not that rare. The valuable ones from that era are the pro models, such as the Vanguard and the "Professional".

Far be it from me to tell you how much your stuff is worth, but I think you will have a hard time obtaining your asking price.

Of course! I wasn't comparing early 60's technology to the current. Its obvious that anything new is going to be better (subjective).
I will disagree that Troubadors are "not that rare." They rarely pop up! Melodias come around much more often.
Now I will agree that they are collectable which reflects the price.
