"This here is no SH-3A, its an SH-3. Apparently, less than 40 of these were made before Roland changed to the 3a, which has a filter modeled after a Moog ladder filter. This however, has a filter modeled after the EMS VCS 3. Its a bit more on the 'acid' side of things compared to the other model.

This one has been recently serviced and calibrated, so its ready to go for the long run. Its a very funky old school synth with that fun 70's sound. Its almost like an organ as far as the sound building goes, since it has one oscillator with 5 different footage settings."

Note this listing stated 40 - 100 units were made, while this listing stated less than 30. If anyone knows with any authority feel free to leave a comment.
