Note the MX73, not
AX73.
The listing states it's an analog synth, but according to
this other listing on Reverb it's actually a MIDI controller:

"This vintage MIDI controller was released in 1986 alongside the AX73 analog synthesizer as part of Akai's professional series. The MX73 has a six-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with a simple, intuitive interface and an adjustable backlit display. It has 4 zones, 8 programmable controllers (4 sliders & 4 switches) along with pitch bend & mod wheels. "
Update: looks like I actually had one posted
back in 2014.
Chris & Cosey had one of these odd things back in the day
