Nigerian Vespucci Modular Synthesizer

via this NY craigslist post

description:
"Hey guys, I am selling a custom Nigerian Vespucci synthesizer that was built in nigeria by Dr. Philip Emeagwali. I bought it last year from a collector in NYC. It has worked great ever since and everything is functional. It has the most unique sound I have ever heard. If you are interested you are welcome to try it before you buy."

Anyone know more about this one? If anyone checks it out, post back.

"It's a Heathkit H-1 analog computer.

  1. Not only that Dear Sirs,

    Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $46,500,000.00 into your accounts pending the payment of $3000 for this synthesizer...

    :-)

    Ok, seriously, it looks cool, wish I had $3k to spend on that, assuming it sounds as good as it looks...
