"Lots of people say "rare" in their title, but I can guarantee not more one person reading this has seen one of these (in America.) This is a ridiculously well-kept and all original string synthesizer of German engineering and build quality. I just paid hundreds of dollars cleaning the guts and restoring function to every solder joint and button push and slider. The only thing that cannot be replaced is the slider knob for the Cello setting in the Upper section, just can't find one that isn't attached to a working unit. Also the power supply is a generic computer p/s but with correct voltage and current. This is marked for 18V but the internet says it runs better/quieter at closer to 20V. I'll include the whole array of tips and variable voltage controller.
Everything simply works. It sounds amazing. Throw your plug-ins away, they can't touch the real thing. And hit the Planet setting in the solo section? Joe Meek would weep Telstar to rust at the sound of this thing. Not the mention it comes with its original stand.

Yes, there's patina and marking from moving it around. It's covered in Tolex so imagine seeing a 70's Fender amp without any marking on it - pretty unlikely."
