"Behold the mighty Roland MKS-70 analog synthesizer.

I purchased this from Thomas Dolby in 2003. He signed the chassis with a sharpie in silver (see photo). When I bought it from him, the display was not working. I subsequently had the coil driver replaced and now the unit functions flawlessly.

(For those into such minutiae, you can see this exact unit in a photo in the 1992 Keyboard article on Dolby circa Astronauts and Heretics. Dolby is on the cover of this issue. I've seen many copies of this issue on eBay.)

I didn't know it when I bought it, but found out after that he left his patches on the unit. That's kind of a rare treat! (See photos for the coolest patches.) I also left his labels on the thing (denoting MIDI channel, etc.) just because I though that was cool. (You're free to remove these, of course!)"

Note the Submarines patch.
