via this auction"This could have been delivered by Doctor Who 5 minutes ago from 1958. A bit of a timewarp item, you don't find these very often, they are rare, few survived the gigging of the sixties, and when you do they are usually in bits with half the keyboard missing. This one is in pretty good shape for its 60 or so years of age, and yes every key on the keyboard works. The built in amplifier also functions perfectly.
The case is in great condition, and I do have the original handle which needs to be fitted by an leather craftsman. The clavioline could probably do with a service as the switches on the front which change the sounds and reverberations work, but but a couple of them do not change the sound at all. There is a lot of information about these on the internet. Most interestingly is the historic value. The clavioline was the worlds FIRST electronic synthesiser [not really]. No museum music department should be without one."
