EMS VCS3 Putney

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Oddly, it looks right at home.

Some interesting details:
"The EMS expert I have been dealing with has only seen pictures of this unit. This is what he wrote:

'Your VCS3 is interesting because it is a very early model. Although it does say VCS3a on the back panel, this is not a commonly recognized 'species' of VCS3 and the unit would fall under the heading of VCS3 Mk1. More importantly the circuitry and components are the same as the Mk1 VCS3 (and Synthi A Mk1 - the suitcase model) I noticed the pencil marking '210' on the images you emailed and suspect that this is the correct serial number.'"

  3. Really? On the stove? Next to the Kettle? Are you cooking with it? Have you nowhere better to take pictures of it? Did you spend your rent money on your synth? Ok, I'm out of questions now.

  4. What's with placing a bag of hash on the joystick controller?!

    Maybe you get that thrown in as a gesture of goodwill.

    I will add, however, that to this day i still dont think there is a better looking synth than that. Truly pimpin' (and i missed off the "g" for extra affect)
