via the seller: "I stop this project, I simply lack the time ............

I offer a DIY synthesizer modular system built after the buildinginstructions of Tünker from about 1980.

The system consists eg of 10 (!) VCO's, 3 multimode filters (5 modes) various LFO's and much more.

I bought it like it is and wanted to finish it, but I have no time for it.

The modules in picture 1 are fully assembled, but cannot say whether they work or not.

Some basic data:

classy front panels (aluminum with machined lettering)
TOP professional quality pcbs
Abuot 30 pcbs, partially partially equipped are added-
Complete manual with all the instructions and schematics and layouts
Power supplies are included

The late 70 early 80s there were quite a few DIY Modular projects, such as PAIA, Elektor Formant or Baumann. This is probably Tünker of 1980

I am selling ​​it explicitly to hobbyists for restoration, repair, or parts recycling

Shipping is possible in Germany possible but will be expensive (3 packages + Iloxx for the cabinet).

Therefore I prefer pick up"

This is the first Tünker post on the site. Helmut Tünker was a German TV engineer who developed DIY synth modules and wrote a book on his designs.

  1. Much cooler as a moog from low to high superb sounds
    great filters vco dco there arent many synth builders like this if you ever find one buy it you wont regret it in the manual is stated professional synthesizer and it really is
    tunker made what others only dream of his knowledge of electronics was far beyond anything else
    so if you really want a proffesional synth that you can build yourself search for a tunker and be happy when you find one because these are hard to get especially with all documentation
