Pics of the inside below.

"This SLM Concert Spectrum string synthesizer keyboard was produced by Welson Synthesizer from 1975-76. Italian-made, stereo analog string/brass/piano synthesizer was made famous by Richard Tandy of The Electric Light Orchestra and Gregg Rolie of Journey.

The Concert Spectrum features:

61 keys (C2 - C7)

Split (between E4 and F4) that allows different sounds to be set for lower and higher keys

5 sound presets that can be layered (Cello, Violin, Horn&Trumpet, Piano, Harpsichord), with on/off buttons

10 volume sliders, 2 for each sound, setting the level of each preset in the total sound, 1 for each split section

4 decay sliders (actually: release sliders), 2 for the sustained section (Cello, Violin, Horn&Trumpet) (1 for each split section), 2 for the percussive section (Piano, Harpsichord) (1 for each split section)

Concert Effect

Stereo output (2 unbalanced mono jack outputs, with individual volume controls) on the back

2 connectors for optional volume pedals

Pitch (tuning) potentiometer

This synthesizer will need to be serviced to be fully functional. It powers on and produces a quiet sound for some of the sound presets but not all. The power cord has some fraying near the plug, and it will need repair as well. Pots and sliders have been scratchy when tested but not consistantly."
