A bit Jackson Pollock.

"For your consideration I have an ultra rare Remco Sound FX Machine analog synthesizer from 1979. It has not been circuit bent, the only modification besides the custom paint job is the addition of a 1/4 jack making it ready to plug and play with your amp or mixer. This thing sounds amazing, It utilizes the same sound chip that was used in the Space Invaders arcade video game, but instead of playing pre-programmed sounds, it lets you gain access to the chip and change the parameters to create a wide variety of sounds. It comes from a clean smoke free home. You will receive the synth with a fresh battery installed... Heres more info I found on the internet.

'The Remco Electronic Sound FX machine was based on the Texas Instruments SN76477 analog sound effects chip. This little late-1970s integrated circuit generated square and noise waves that could be modulated to create all manner of bleeps, bloops, buzzes and auditory insanity. It's perhaps most famous as the sound chip used in the arcade version of Space Invaders.'"
