Original 1968 Stylophone


via this auction

"The Stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It was 1st produced in 1968. Rock star David Bowie used a Stylophone in his recordings, "Space Oddity" and "Slip Away." (Wikipedia has a good description of it)

This is one of the 1st models. It comes with its original box, songbook made specifically for it (dated 1968), and the working stylus. It uses a 9-volt battery. It is in good condition for its age. It is missing its battery cover but does not affect its performance."
