"This is a two-cabinet EML 500 synthesizer. It does not work. 
We bought it some time ago as a project however now it appears we're never going to get around to restoring it. Pictures 2-4 are of the left cabinet and pictures 5-7 are of the right cabinet. The left cabinet power supply (picture 4) connects to the right cabinet (picture 7) via a multi-pin cable with Cinch-Jones connectors, which we do not have.
The "controllers" portion of the left cabinet (picture 2) appears to be bereft of controllers, though if you look at it from the inside (picture 3) the PCB looks to be complete and in good shape, possibly the sliders broke off. The right hand cabinet (picture 5) also has no controllers, though here (picture 6) there is no PCB at all. After I got the power supply working and the left-hand cabinet (picture 2) going, it was my intention to complete the right-hand cabinet (picture 5) with a modern set of controllers from e.g. synthesis technology or one of the several other kit manufacturers, rather than trying to replicate the original PCB, which probably would be impossible to do anyway. Many of the controls on both cabinets are labeled though I don't know if the labels are accurate. The cabinets and panels are in G+ condition with some scratching. I don't know what to make of this synth, my best guess is that it was some kind of a prototype. It definitely looks restorable, though if you buy it please be prepared for some effort to get it back in action. For all of these reasons, regretfully sold "as is." Local pick-up in the Los Angeles, CA area welcome."
