"People talk glibly of 'museum quality', but if there is one item in this
auction that fits that description, it is this. Firstly, it is very early, and
extraordinarily rare: Serial number 7001, and we believe Robin Wood at EMS has
had his hands on only ONE other example (possibly Eno's?). (On the phone this
week he clarified this - there may have originally been 10 or 15 made
altogether, he guesses, but he has only seen one.) Secondly, the cosmetic
condition is unbelievably good: it honestly looks like it was made in the last
few months, not nearly 40 years ago. The black tolex is so perfectly black,
and the keys so perfectly white, that it is very difficult to photograph. It
is clear that it has hardly ever been used, if ever. It was stored in dry,
secure non-smoking storage at Dartington College of Arts, who owned it from
new. It has been checked over and calibrated by Lucid Sound, is in perfect
working order, and comes with a perfect eight-pin lead."
