"Buchla 208r V2 Stored Program Sound Source Module in excellent condition. Please study the detailed photos, there are a few minor things like marks on the boat which were there from new but the 208r is in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This 208r was built to the highest standards using the Roman Filippov V2 PCBs. I did many hours, if not days or weeks of research before commissioning this build and chose a very highly respected European tech to build it for me, he has built many of these for many a happy customer and knows these machines inside out. It sounds amazing and is less than a year old.

The 208r is an exact clone of the 208 from the original 1970s Buchla Music Easel. The only difference I know of is it has a replacement circuit for the uA726 which gives it both better and wider tracking than the original. It is also calibrated to the 1V/OCT standard.

The 208r comes in a powered boat. It has two 1/4" jack outputs, one is a standard large jack output of the main signal out and the other is a dedicated Channel A output which is tapped before the mixer but after the Gate so its possible to do send and return effects processing. It also has a 1/4" jack input for a passive foot-pedal or switch which enables an internal gate signal to be sent to the envelope."
