Here's a rarity. The last Gnat Special being auctioned off by Adrian Wagner. Unfortunately it's a non working unit:"Here we have the last not working Gnat Special from the last of the stock from Wasp Synthesizers Limited: the company I opened 24 years ago after the demise of Electronic Dream Plant. There were only 30 unit of this particular
wooden model ever made!The unit does not work when plugged in so I am selling this as component spares, to a collector or to some enterprising engineer who feels like having a go to fix it. Hence the low start with no reserve!
Even though it does not work, the overall condition (including the touch sensitive keyboard) is very good indeed. Unfortunately, all 12 knobs are missing but these are easy to find on eBay. This was the smaller, single oscillator model to the Wasp but with a great and fat sound. Unfortunately, the manual and electronic schematics have been lost years ago so the synth is all you get but, despite this, you will be bidding on a slice of the past and the good old days of British Synthesizer enterprise and development!"
Sent my way via Chad. No title link.
EDP parts are easy to find on eBay? I'm not saying they aren't... it's not like I look for them regularly... just hard to believe is all...
