via the seller: "This is Octave the CAT SRM (Rev. SMM-1, Serial # B3965). This synth is tested and works fine. The cosmetically it is in good shape, except the left wood panel is missing a piece, as shown in the picture.
This version most likely comes with the SSM2040 chip that was used in Prophet 5 and ARP 2600, (though I can't see the number, as a resistor is placed on top of the chip). Also VCOs are supposed to be discrete and sound FAT, as far as I can recall.
This synth has Duophonic (2-voice) capability, a 2-note sample-and-hold feature for each voice as well. The Keyboard can be switched between 2-voice (poly) and 1-voice (mono) modes.
You can read more about this synth on a Sound on Sound article "Octave Cat, Kitten & Voyetra". Also I will send both, instruction and service manuals (in PDF files) to the buyer..."
