Googlish description:
"Probably one of the first monophonic synth history.
Built by Jennings, who founded the company after Vox in England.
It's 1956!
As you can see is a box lined with leather Crocodile Tolex.
The keyboard is the preamp tubes and the box is the stage and an 8-inch speaker. Has an output of 6 watts.
Is connected to the amplifier box.
With the lever control the volume.
It works great unless the vibrato effect.
It has several switches for varied sounds super interesting.
Three octaves of Fa Fa, with small wooden keys.
The Univox became very popular in 1962 when Joe Meek used it for his hit Telstar Tornados.
A museum piece and playing in the p. mother!
Change it for some interesting instrument, or study material.
It also offers reasonable economic accepted."

Another recently came up for auction here.
