"This synth is fully functional but the case is cracked and it has a couple of mods that were removed except for the IEC connection. From what I've understood this is from the first production - with dins. (around 20-50 were made of this type with German style din jacks instead of 1/4 according to Robin Wood.) This synth was approved by David Cockerell himself with his initials on the serial tag and completed 22nd of December, 1969. Pretty much all orig. parts inside. Definitely needs to be recapped. I'm assuming it was owned at one time by NYU as the sticker implies. This has a sticker indicating that it was the Ionic Industries Inc Putney VCS3 carefully placed over the EMS graphic (Electronic Music Studios (London) LTD VCS so I'm guessing this was when Ionic was distributing EMS in the states."
Ionic also made an EMS SYNTHI clone in a full blown keyboard case called the Ionic Performer. See the Ionic label below for more. SN SE / 118
