RE the Unique DBK: "This is an incredibly rare Crumar Bit One rebranded Synthesizer from Italy.

Basically it's a two digital oscillator synth with really warm analog filters and circuitry.

It is in excellent working order, has a new battery and the factory patches have been restored. This is ready for studio use! Only issue is it's missing a slider cap which you could replace with just about anything that fits a slider."

LEM Bit 99? Anyone know the relation between LEM and Crumar?

Update via urge in the comments:
"From your own site Matrix:knows his synths): [yep... stuff oozes in and out all the time.. It's why I created this blog, I just forget to actually use it sometimes. :)

"It's a rebadged LEM Bit 99:

...which itself is a rebadged Crumar BIT 99.

some insider info:

LEM is/was a subsidiary of General Electro Music, Italy (more known as GEM) and I'm pretty sure they bought the rights from Crumar to re-release the BIT 99 (under the LEM brand) when the Crumar company ceased to exist around the mid-to-late '80's.

Around the same time as this, Gem would buy the ELKA company (another well-known Italian manufacturer of musical instruments) which was owned by the other Crucianelli brother, namely Piero Crucianelli.
(Piero was brother to Mario Crucianelli who owned Crumar). '"
