Hehe... there’s one on Gumtree for $580 AUD!

But at the time, you couldn’t give away Prophet 5s! If only I had a time machine

I was too young at the time but I remember older people saying the same about Les Pauls, Jazzmasters and vintage guitar pedals in the late 80s!

It was truly a weird time in terms of music and music equipment! Everything from the 50s/60s/70s went out of style, but returned in full force in the 90s, while the 80s stuff started getting rejected. Crazy!
