1971 ARP 2600P V1.0 Synthesizer


via this auction

"ARP 2600P V1.0 and has the 4017 VCOs… AND the classic Moog style 4012 ladder filter. Both of these are missing from later versions… So what’s the significance of the 4017s and 4012? While the 4027 replacement VCOs were a little more stable, they were not nearly as hi-fi as the 4017s. You can really tell the difference. These things are as FAT as they come. In addition, the Moog ladder filter simply could not be duplicated. This is the synth that the ARP manufacturers originally designed the 2600 to be and sound like. But it’s more serviceable than the original Blue Marvin and Grey Meanie. Serial #13005 with the Tonus logo as you can see. The keyboard is the 3604 with Serial #13006."
