via this VEMIA auction"No documentary evidence, but these are believed to have been owned by Tangerine Dream, and modified for them by Projekt Elektronik or Wolfgang Palm. The photo of Edgar Froese is believed to show these two sequencers - one above the Four-Voice, and one under the MS-10. Some features of the modifications seem to have been disabled or altered, so some servicing or re-modding may be needed. All early (R.A. Moog) items: 2x 960, 1x 961, 2x 962s. Re-cased at some time in their history into what looks like a IIIP-style case with two knobs on top. Another item needing to be sold to finance a large modular synth restoration."
Update via Micke in the comments:
"The big sequencer above the Oberheim Four voice in the photo with Edgar Froese is a Synthanorma (built by Matten & Wiechers), not Moog.
Other artists/bands using this type of sequencer were Klaus Schulze and Kraftwerk (who used a special version of it)."
"The Synthanorma sequencer was part of Peter Schmoelling's stage rig during TD's concert in East-Berlin way back in Jan 1980."

Thanks Micke, I didn't look anywhere near closely enough at the photo. I'll put a note in the seller's description to point out that this is not a Moog sequencer!
