"Rare Schober Tunesmith Synthesizer - American made analog synth originally sold as kit. I tested it and it does have output, but it is a constant tone and the keys all play the same note. The knobs do effect the sound but something is obviously off. Needs some love."

"The Dynabeat was sold as a kit with an assembly time about 35 hours. 'The Dynabeat's sound are produced by phase-shift oscilators, in some cases combined with multivibratord and diodes. They are extremely lifelike and make anyone who ever dreamed of being a drummer really sound like one.' 1968 price: $139,50.

PDF scans below and linked at the auction. This appears to be a DIY organ synth.  This is the first post to feature Schober.  I couldn't find a demo for it on YouTube, but I did find the following demo for the Dynabeat. I'm curious if any of the synthy organ sounds in the video are the Tunesmith. More pics of the Tunesmith below.
