Roland SH-09 analog synthesizer

via this auction
"The story is this- I got it at a garage sale 10 or 12 years ago in rough shape cosmetically... I don't understand how, but the front panel was rusted in a fairly bizarre way and there was no saving the original paint. I considered having it powder coated and making it fancy looking again, but then I realized I had never really seen a rat rod style monosynth, so i just wire wheeled it down and allowed it to surface rust, replaced the screws with industrial looking hex head bolts, relabeled it with a red label maker, and added a few red LED's to the control board for good measure so the control panel glows red... it looks pretty cool in the dark. Most of the sliders were replaced at the same time..."
