The OB-Mx Story

Click here for a sordid tale of the Gibson Oberheim OB-Mx. If you haven't read this before, make the time to do so. It's an interesting bit of synth history.

"D.N. "Lynx" Crowe and Don Buchla were called in to salvage the OB-Mx very late in the game. They weren't told the whole story of the project to that date; they gradually uncovered the archeological and forensic evidence in the drawings and code. Some details still aren't known, but thanks to the process of Discovery in several civil suits, including depositions of many of the people mentioned here, enough is known to show the mismanagement, fraud, and incompetence that doomed G-WIZ, the OB-Mx, and ultimately OpCode and any other hi-tech company that is fooled into trying to work with Gibson Guitar and its Technohick CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz. Everything spelled out in this narrative is either from my own memories of the time, or from depositions and exhibits already in evidence in the case."

ARP Odyssey Keys

No title link. Just one shot via this auction. Check out those keys! Kind of like the bottom row of my teeth. I'd say this ARP needs braces but then I had braces as a kid. Hmm... Why don't they last? via brian comnes.

EMS Synthi 100

And it's back on the bay. Previously posted here, however it looks like there are actually a couple of new shots. Title link takes you to all shots pulled via this auction. Some one buy this so I can see what my affiliate chunk on 60k would be. : ) I'll even let you know how much it was. BTW, if someone actually can afford to shell out 60k for this, umm... make sure to check it out first.
