Looks like a lab-grade function generator. i.e. a big box that can put out sine/square/saw and the knob controls frequency.
ReplyDeleteKent is probably right, but when I saw it I wondered if it wasn't an old shortwave receiver from the '40s or '50s.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's actually a tube-driven Hewlett-Packard scientific oscillator, circa 1951. It can be found mounted in many of Raymond Scott's lab photographs.
ReplyDeleteI had 5 pics in this set, many of which featured the Mono/Poly and the oscillator with greater detail, as well as the DX-7 right behind, but, oh, the content sacrifices for that damned artsy angle!
Via Ed DMX: "that machine in the photo you were asking about is a reel-to-reel tape recorder without any tape on it. looks like a revox but it's hard to tell from the angle."
