Mini Roland Jupiter 8 Synthesizer

via this auction
1/4 Size Model
"From the people who bring the JUNO-6 and JUNO-60’s into this decade with those black custom plastic side cheeks – we’ve got a one-off, non-functioning model created for another project we are now offering for sale. Who wouldn’t want their own Jupiter 8!

First, we’ve spend hundreds of hours of graphic design, taking measurements and building this “pocket version” to the truest heavy-hitter of analog synths – the Jupiter 8! This is an accurate model, down to the stainless steel screws into the beveled side panels, the acrylic display crystal, silver sides, rainbow of graphic buttons and rear panels of jacks and that huge red on/off switch. This actual unit is a prototype for a small series of full size units that are nearly complete (just in time for Roland’s introduction if the Jupiter 80 this month). This model is a solid 15 lbs. and is exactly 1/2 scale (which makes it one-quarter the size of the real thing). It is 21-7/8” wide, 10-1/4” deep and 3-1/4” high. It was produced from milled MDF, laminate, synthetic overlay and high quality paint coatings. While it doesn’t fool anyone into believing it’s real, it is a very attractive, very heavy and sturdy model and would look great in the personal studio that “has it all”, except for a JP-8."
