Electro-Harmonix Vocoder, David Cockerell (EMS) 1979

via this VEMIA auction

"Rare and interesting vocoder, designed by EMS guru David Cockerell! Some sliders are a bit scratchy, but this is something you set up and leave, not tweak in real time - as the clever design with its recessed sliders and switches implies. Good cosmetic condition - a few superficial scratches, but generally nice, and, for EH product, VERY nice! Can be rack-mounted or is also free standing at a useful angle. Comes with a bad condition but readable copy manual. There is some insulating tape on the mains lead - a possible safety hazard that will need checking professionally. It is a long way down the cable, so there is easily enough to have that part of the lead cut off and the plug replaced. See a contemporary review at http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/davies/vocbaeha.htm - and note that the price then was 428GBP - which equals about 1380GBP in today's money."
