Rare Technics SY-1010 analogue synthesizer (1979)

via this auction
Not the best shots, but you don't see these often.

"A light weight synthesizer manufactured by technics in 1979. It's all analogue, with no battery for memory or anything like that, so it's probably still quite clean inside, and has survived in good condition for nearly 30 years.

It is compact (roughly the same size as a technics SL-1200 turntable)

Typical Oscillator+Noise->Filter->VCA monosynth setup with LFO.

The LFO can go up to quite high frequencies (i'm guessing around 100hz or maybe higher), so it can be used as an FM effect.

There is also a tuning knob for the main oscillator, which has a range of less than 100hz, up to somewhere above 10000hz.

There are no inputs at all to this synth. But i guess someone with experience could add cv/gate inputs, and probably even midi too, if that was required."
