  1. Wow. That is some seriously bizarre routing on that board on the left. Do all ARP boards look like that?

  2. The Avatar was only available in prototype form by 1977, it wasn't publically released until spring 1978 or therabouts.
    The same goes for most of the other ARP synths that came in the then-new black & orange livery --exceptions are the Quadra and Pro-DGX mk II both of which came out in the spring/summer of '79 as well as the Solus which appeared in 1980.
