"This particular Buchla system has been thoroughly restored, tested, and calibrated.

Over the last twelve years, I have worked as an analog repair and restoration technician, including an apprenticeship under Don Buchla. I've had the opportunity to restore over a dozen complete vintage Buchla modular systems, and also worked on over a hundred modules from both the 100 and 200 series. Additionally, I have worked on virtually every other Buchla instrument, as well as rare and historic synthesizers from EMS, Moog, Korg, and Sequential Circuits. I 've restored modular systems for reputed institutions such as New York University, Mills College, The Library of Congress, and the Cantos Music Museum, and have worked on Buchlas for notable artists such as Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, Suzanne Ciani, and Morton Subotnick.

Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this extremely rare instrument.
