"This was formerly a General Electric "zonar burglar alarm". I found it at my local angel view thrift store and loved the fake woodgrain alarm clock/speaker cabinet looking box so I bought it for a whopping $1.99. Incendentally I also bought a very nice vintage tea pot which I needed very badly to go with my new coffee press. Anyhoo, I got it home to my delight it was perfect for this vactrol (opto-iso) thing that I had been thinking about making. After worked for about 14 hours designing and making this this beast and then subsequently I spent about 100 hours playing with it getting different sounds and enjoying it fully trust me. The seven code buttons on top are working keybored keys for a main oscillator sync'd to another oscillator that's pitch is detirmented by a vactrol with the LED side connected to the six on/off/on switches on top for a sequencer LFO effect that is F'N crazy!!! I would have added more LEDs, butit would change the sound and I love the creepy sc-fi with a horror twist that this thing has. email me for the schematic at puffhandy3000@yahoo.com and look for this item on etsy and ebay."
