via this VEMIA auction"Great-sounding Odyssey-beater, duophonic (sort-of), and a pleasure to play. If it had standard performance controls it would be almost the ultimate solo-ing synth - the mix of knobs and sliders is really a lot more user-friendly than the ARP sliders. Fantastic interfacing, too - this can be part of a modular set-up exactly as it stands. Fully serviced, 240V, and in nice but not near-mint cosmetic condition. One end cheek has had a repair where a previous owner had put a handle, and there are a few minor bits of surface rust: look on the photo by the CAT logo on the front, and by the VCO1 fine frequency control. But overall I think it's easily justified to call it 8/10 - all the knobs, switches, keys and even grommets are present and correct, and the overall look of the panel, and the whole instrument, is lovely. Plays great - a lovely old monosynth."
