This one in via JB.

Update: some additional details on what's for sale:

"I have some inventory left over from when we shut down production in the early-1980’s. These units have been sitting in storage untouched for more than 30 years:
VPK-5 keyboards: Most of these are test units used on the production floor. They have some minor marks and scratches but they’re in very good shape. I am selling these for $400 each.

Cat SRM II and CatSticks: These are essentially new and I check each one before shipping to make sure they work and are calibrated. I am selling the Cats for $2,000 each and the CatSticks for $500 each.

Cat Clocks: These were produced in the late 70s for music stores and are very rare. They have a fluorescent light inside and a section on the bottom to put a message with snap in letters. I’m selling these for $100 each.

Keyboards: I have some 3 octave keyboards that were used on the Cat synthesizers. These can be used to repair similar keyboards, or for building a synthesizer. I'm selling these for $100 each.
If you know of anyone that might be interested in this gear, please forward this information to them. Attached are some photos and literature.

Regards
Carmine"
