Tiracon 6V board set brought to life

YouTube via MusicMiK
"I recently got this board set from an internet auction for an interesting price. The seller told it's unused - which really might be true, as i didn't see any traces of screws or so on the boards.
It's just the digital board, analog board with voice boards and the display board. The power supply without the transformer was also included but not used here, everything is hooked up to the lab power supply currently.
The EPROMs were still okay (sure, i first dumped them :), some chips were broken, and in some places, there was a mechanical damage.
All in all got this far in 2 days and i think i will get this back to life as a usable synth again."

The Tiracon

Update: According to Lutz in the comment section, "This is a prototyp made in 1989 from AAC (Automatisierungs- und Anlagenbau Cottbus). It is a keyboard with presetsounds, some effects and a rhytm-machine inside. Its not a Synth !!!"

Update: Via Moogulator of seqencer.de. The Tiracon was not a by Vermona but actually a prototype that never went into production by an east german company. He didn't state the name. If I get it I'll include it. Would be an interesting bit of synth history to know.

Via Steveo on Sonic State's the-gas-station. Title link takes you to the post. Nothing on the Vermona site yet. Click image for a slightly bigger shot.

Update: Another synth, the Tiracon 6 is on the Vermona site.
