"This is a beautiful, rare vintage synthesizer made by ELKA in the 1980's. This is production no. 987 of only about 1,100 made in total. It's got a fat, original sound that you only get from analogue synths, and the Elka Synthex is the prince of analogue synths!!

Many famous artists such as "Tangerine Dream", Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran and Stevie Wonder have used one and Jean Michel Jarre swears by it.

Bought originally from the manufacturers in Porto Recanati (AN) Italy in 1984/5. It is in great working order, with only a couple of plastic parts missing, some sign of scratches and wear and tear as in any item used regularly for gigging."
