Gakken SX-150s Available via MAKE

$45.99 via MakerSHED

BTW, the magazine that comes with it is top notch. Amazing images, but... It's in Japanese. Still worth it though.

Description:
"This cool little synth kit is easy to put together, requires no soldering and is easy to hack (see links below). There are no English instructions included (book and kit are in Japanese but beautifully done) but the detailed illustrations are more than enough to easily put this kit together. Check out our blog links below to see our review and hacks. Imported from Japan in partnership with Gakken. 4 AA batteries (not included)
