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."
hey i took those photos! i spent almost 5 years assembling and restoring that system.

Yeah, too many anonymouses... I was the 2nd anonymous (the guy who owned it when it was in crappy shape); rick was the first anonymous (the guy who restored it over 4 years & took the pictures). Confused yet?
