via this VEMIA auction"A fantastic chance to get the Odyssey sound (and more - the amazing Avatar hex fuzz) without the Odyssey price. But you're going to have to lubricate and/or replace all the sliders, many of which are horribly stiff (and one is snapped off but usable); and also find out why it doesn't seem to be making any sound. The mains power switch lights up, but nothing else happens. It might be something simple like the Main Output switch not working - the LED doesn't light - but even if it is, there is bound to be some calibration and/or servicing needed on the electronics. Cosmetically it's not bad, apart from the missing slider tops. There is a 3cm scrape in the middle of the control panel, and the remains of some lettering - you can still see it around some controls, and there is still a letter D by the VCA ADSR/AR switch. It seems to have been owned / labelled by 'Light Touch'. The end cheeks are actually wood, not the thick leatherette you usually find. Nicely done, too - I would imagine it is some sort of hardwood. Oh, there's no guitar pickup included. But since the guitar synth side (apart from hex fuzz) was pretty impossible to play, that isn't a major loss. This would be great to renovate and add patch points too - and use the extra (guitar) inputs too, perhaps, for inputting extra sounds to process."
