Nice shot of the Buchla Electric Music Box pulled from this VSE thread.
Also check out this shot.
Update via electricmusicbox.com in the comments:
"When I owned that case & a few of the modules in it, it was a half-working, chipped-laminate sad excuse for a system (though I made some great sounding music on it). After 5 years I tore out my favorite modules & sold it for 3 times what I paid for it. When it fell into the hands of "anonymous," it was transformed into a better-than-catalog version of itself. Long live the Buchla underground railroad."
