Oberheim OBX 6 Voice SN 806508
via this auction on eBay Austria.
"In 1978 Oberheim presented the OBX polyphonic synthesizer.
It has a very organic, warm and powerful sound, much richer than it’s later versions, OBXa and OB8. This is probably because of it’s discrete circuitry design of the voiceboards, only the ENV’s were made with Curtis CEM3310 IC’s.
The OBX is probably one of the best sounding analog synths ever made, the sound is very close to the legendary Oberheim SEM.
This particular instrument has been restored by the previous owner and a lot of the typical OBX problems have been solved.
Power supply caps and most of all other caps have been changed, some of the trimmers and molex connectors overworked, cleaned and checked.
It also has been upgraded with an Encore Midi Upgrade (In, Out, Thru). The Midi kit is not available at Encore electronics anymore..."
