I spotted this one on Deviant Synth. It's a DIY synth by Dr. Joseph A. Paradiso. You can find full details here.
"I spent the winter of 1979-1980 in Europe as a graduate student of the MIT physics department, working at our R209 muon pair experiment running at the Intersecting Storage Rings at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. These were extremely stimulating years; CERN is a fantastic environment for high-energy physics (especially then, as it was about to enter a golden age with the launch of the p-bar-p collider), and living in Geneva was fabulous; with the French Alps and Jura nearby, there were many highpoints. Things quieted down though as the winter shutdown began at CERN and all of the postdocs left town for the holidays. I myself was about to leave for a couple of weeks in Rome to visit relatives, but there was a good gap of a week or two beforehand when I had a fair amount of time on my hands and a nice workshop available (always a dangerous situation). Although I often took advantage of an old piano that was hidden in a cable tunnel under the main CERN restaurant, I missed my synthesizers, and wanted to play with electronic music again."
