Abandoned Synths

"The story behind this is that a chap's parents evicted a tenant who then disappeared leaving this stuff behind. The lucky chap is a teacher who has kept this in his drama classroom for use as props not knowing its collectibility and value. Now he is trying to identify what he has and get it serviced or on to a good home that will fix up, preserve, and appreciate it..."

This made me wonder what ever happened to the gear at the New England Synth Museum when David Hillel Wilson passed away. I was fortunate enough to visit the collection once.  The site is still live: http://www.synthmuseum.com.

Update via Nicholas in The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"From the lucky folks that found the stack:

"Hey guys, here's the end of this crazy story.

A friend set us up with another friend at Perfect Circuit Audio.
http://www.perfectcircuitaudio.com/

They collect, restore and resell vintage synths. He came over and we sawed open the crazy custom cabinet. It was secured with lots of bolts, braces, and wood glue, the original creator of this monster never intended to swap out or upgrade anything. The patch bay on top was all custom. However this kept the insides totally clean and nice. We agreed on a good price and he took all the units as-is. They are going to be restored and may end up in the showroom, where lots of folks can enjoy them, so that makes me happy!

Here's a few more pics of the disassembling:

Thanks to everyone's info and research, I feel we got a great price and it was cool to be in touch with a little bit of music history.

Cheers!""
