SNs 320, 3328, 5214
"Here we have a very early version of the infamous VCS-3, also known as 'The Putney'. These units were handcrafted in London, England in the late 60's/early 70s by Electronic Music Studios.
This particular model includes the matching keyboard and ultra rare E.M.S. Random Voltage Generator box (Model No. 560/5). The generator does exactly what you'd expect it to do (generates voltages at variable random times).
Recently calibrated along with a power supply recap.
The VCS-3 has been favored by countless artists/producers worldwide for a good reason! (Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Stereolab, Yes, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Depeche Mode, The Who and more).
VCS-3 (serial no. 320) The CRICKLEWOOD VCS-3 Keyboard (serial no. 3328) Random Voltage Generator (serial no. 5214) Includes original keyboard connecting cable and AC power plug."
To think, when the Putney came out one could be purchased for $300. Makes one wish one had purchased a truckload of them.
