Wiard Borg Filter 300

via this auction.

Details (note the misprint):

"One thing that makes this one real cool is it is miss marked "GR-342" it is SUPPOSED to say GR-352. Grant said it was one of the first few built. Taken from Wiard website: The newest module in the Wiard system is the Borg Filter . The Borg uses a completly new filter design using “Vactrol”-based electronics. There are two seperate filters in this module -- each implemented as a 2-pole multi-mode. They can be linked as a 4-pole, or used as two independent filters. The Vactrol circuitry provides a certain amount of slew, giving the filter a very woody and warm tone. The Borg also contains two LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators). Low frequency might be a misnomer, since the oscillators will track to a 15 Khz audio rate. These two oscillators can be used for filter modulation, or for clocking of a Sequantizer, vibrato on a Classic VCO and wave sequencing of a Waveform City. This is another example of the excellent design work done by Grant and the Wiard team. Where did the Borg name come from? + Buchla Model 292 Low-pass Gate Korg MS-20 High and Low-Pass Filters The Borg Filter module contains: Two seperate Borg filter (Controls - Freq, Peak, Type, Mod) Two low frequency oscillators (Controls - Speed) A jack multiple"

"VINTAGE YAMAHA CS-01 CS01 ANALOG SYSNTHESIZER SYNTH .POWER UP BUT SELLING AS/IS I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT . WHEN I PLAY A KEY IT JUST KEEP BUZZING I DONT KNOW WHY .PLEASE LOOK AT PIC FOR MORE INFO."

Someone is about to either get really lucky or really disappointed. It reminds me of a Sequential Circuits I picked up from the Local Guitar Center a few years back for $125 because of a stuck note. I opened it up, bent the j-wire back into position and was good to go. They said their tech couldn't figure it out. : )

This little beasty needs a bath. I don't see these come up often. Check out the non standard pedal connectors. Anyone know more about them? Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Update via kdog in the comments:
"I owned one of these back in 1985. 2 DCO's and VCF's..Stays in tune well. Never tried connecting to the 5 Pin Din sockets for the VCA and VCF. It's the same board as the Sequential Circuits Velocity 6.. Watch out though if the battery leaks... it will eat tracks on the processor board..."

You can find more info on the DK 600 including the SCI Velocity 6 on the Siel Synthesizers Website. The Velocity 6 is in the DK 600 section.
