Well, by sheer luck I found something that fits the bill on Craigslist.
The original owner of this Yamaha PSR-12 lives just 5 minutes away and was asking $35.
Here it is in my car before I drove it home.
It has some pretty sweet sounds onboard and a kinda cool auto-assist bassline feature I might make use of.
It has a mono aux out port, so I assume a cable like this one would allow me to hook it up to an audio interface for recording, right?

I'm new to this stuff so learning as I go.
- Looks fun, yes on the cable. Incase you haven’t yet, check out 8bit Keys on YouTube. Lots of info on these keyboardsfuturefood

- if you can find a pss-390 or 780 they have a fucking sweet synthesiser section. 780 has midi and a cleaner sound 390 has a more nostalgic sunbaked sound to itkingsteven
- also, that cable is mono RCA to stereo mini jack... you may as well use a normal jack to phono lead and leave one RCA unplugged... you'd want mono -> monokingsteven
- Thanks guys! I've watched a lot of the 8bit keys stuff this past week. He does some rad stuff.nocomply
- Kingsteven - can you elaborate on the cable thing? Maybe an amazon link? Like I said, I'm new to this stuff. Or the recording part more specifically.nocomply
- And that PSS-390 is almost *exactly* what I'm after, but it looks like they're really hard to find. Oh well. the one I got is super fun for now.nocomply
- One thing I'll say... the build and the keys of the PSR-12 are surprisingly good.nocomply
- prob these little adapters https://is.gd/rctX70… and one side of a regular phono (RCA) cable are your best bet.kingsteven
- i got a pss-390 as a kid and it's probably the reason i got in to synths. i set out to collect all the PSS models at one point. Got about 10 in the attic :Dkingsteven
- And although the demo music from the 390 is a joy, top spot goes to: https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
