"Hi, Here is a nice looking analogue monophonic synth from the Japanese synth makers, Kawai. The 100F's filter architecture is reputedly a very close copy of the ARP Odyssey's. The filter was smooth and bright, and could be driven into self oscillation to produce metallic, glassy, tinkling highs or deep sub-bass lows. Sadly, after a period of intermittent signal output, the VCO cant be heard, nor can the VCF when pushed into the self/osc zone, where it should whistle/oscillate wildly! Possibly a VCA output problem but I don't really know. A faint clicking signal from the LFO can be heard and the rate/speed of clicks are adjustable. The synth is in reasonable cosmetic condition considering its age, mid '70s. All slider caps are present as is the original owners manual and paper sound patch templates. Some wear on rear underside of end cheeks and veneered part of lower back panel. A little veneer has parted company with the front of the right hand end cheek. A little corrosion under the paint work near the power switch. The 1/4" jack ins and outs can be used for external signal processing, connecting other voltage controlled synths and CV/Gate equipment..."
