"Extremely rare outside Japan - apparently Moridaira / Denki Sangyo, the firm SCI employed to make the Six-Trak, decided to make a few changes to that design and re-market it as the Pro-8 in Japan. Five octaves instead of four, eight voices instead of six, and split instead of multi-timbral. SCI then eventually made a couple more changes, and introduced it as the Split-8 in the rest of the world.

This, like all Pro-8s, started out as 100V Japanese power, but has been converted to 240V.

Lots of little points of interest: for instance, this one has a Denki maker label but also a Sequential Circuits one. They both call it Model 608, and SCI have a serial number:02033. 608 presumably because the design was changed from six to eight voices?

It's not a Prophet-5 for sure.... but if you like the Six-Trak sound you'll like this a lot. And it's rare as anything :) Plus it's probably the only synth in the world to have a scribble-strip matrix for entering your program sound names. The matrix looks unused.
