Vintage vocoders are preferred for sonic quality, but a good one in
good shape can be $1K or more. The vocoding effect is available from
some digital units (the Boss SE50, Boss SE70, Korg Wavestation AD).
PAIA makes a kit you can assemble yourself (www.paia.com).
Tell those music store guys to piss off; if they knew anything they
