VAKO ORCHESTRON DOUBLE "C"

via this auction
"Vako double "c" model orchestron!!!!! Exceedingly rare, exceptional, dual manual version of the legendary orchestron, only a handful of these dual manual versions remain in existence, only fifty units, including all models, were ever made!!! I unearthed this beauty in a forgotten, hidden back room, in a basement of an ancient music store and recording studio in butte, montana! Of all places!! It literally sat, in a room, for 28 years in a flight case, forgotten. Can you just believe it???? Well, it's all true, kiddies. So now, you got a shot at owning a piece of progressive rock history, and i don't think it will pass by this way again. You can google up all the info you desire on this unique and wonderful contraption, of course, it's the much more developed big brother, to that upstart snotty optigan, and it's other bratty sibling, the chilton talentmaker. They all read optical light discs, and, i have it on pretty good authority that these optical light discs are all about to return to production, with custom versions available to god's special people. That means expanded beyond the original master tape libraries. So, on the double "c", you get to play two different discs at the same time!!! What more could you ever want? Anyway, it comes with the aforementioned heavy duty flight case, but, and i want to shed a tear here, (sic) the original (8) optical light discs are corrupted from exposure. But, i do have them, and the special custom original partitioned case that they originally came in! So, there it is. What are ya gonna do? Take out 2nd mortgage on the house, or, rob the kid's college fund? I know, beg the folks for an advance on your inheritance!! >>>>>>>>>>>>> vako dual manual double "c" orchestron!!!" via Ivan

  1. Is this what Kraftwerk used with the wacky custom case, or was that another model?

  2. Kraftwerk used a regular Orchestron Model B. No custom job.

  5. It's totally useless without the discs. NONE are available now, despite what he claims, and it may be some time before they come along. I know - I had FOUR Orchestrons at one time! Ah well...
