Pics of the inside below.
"This vintage beauty was put together from a kit by an electrical design engineering professor who held a Ph.D. in computer science at Berkeley. It appears to be a nice soldering job and these older units are getting harder to find. Countless hours of work went into this build. I believe it is in the original shipping box from Southwest Technical Products in San Antonio, Texas. I have installed the 2 required 9 volt batteries, but I could not get the unit to function. It powers on, but no sound comes through the test amplifier. Only a pop when it turns on..."

PAiA Gnome Micro-Synthesizer with Documentation
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is a real treasure and a great learning tool for synthesizers. This multi-voice synthesizer from the mid-1970s was built from a kit and worked when it was retired, though I can't promise it will now. It is solid-state, though, so why not? The schematics, procedure instructions, glossary, and setting/operating instructions are included so you can experiment away. Learn how the various electronics produce the sounds and learn how to control them. This is a nice, quality device.
The build instructions have been marked by the builder, so I won't claim this is mint."

"This was available in kit form in the mid 1970's
Itis completely assembled and for the most part works.
The only issue I can report is the VCF appears to have limited functionality.
The resistive element is intact and it does work.
Requires two 9 volt batteris to operate.
Unit is in very good condition."
