Fender ARP Chroma
Some details:
"Vintage Fender Arp Chroma polyphonic analog synthesizer keyboard in excellent+ condition. This classic synth was the last one produced by Arp and its by far one of the purest and unique sounding polyphonic synths around. Serial #21030012 of only 50 made with original Arp cards (all voice cards are screened ARP). If you've never heard a Chroma in person its akin to a Yamaha CS-80 with shimmery highs and fantastic string and bass sounds. The conditon of this synth is probably one of the finest you will ever come across and it tunes all 16 voices. Unique features include a 64 note velocity sensitive weighted wooden keyboard, 3 band EQ, multiband filters, and much more."
EMS Vocoder System 2000
Details: "British synth maker EMS are known not only for their classic VCS3, but also for their unique retro vocoders. Designed by Tim Orr, the EMS Vocoder 2000 is an excellent voice synthesizer comparable to the Roland SVC-350. It has been around since the late seventies, and is still available to this day. The Vocoder 2000 offered 16-channels of vocoding with filters, mic/line inputs, oscillator and noise sources, voiced/unvoiced detector, and slew/freeze control."

Ray Wilson Etcetera Ghetto Modular
Via Suit and Tie Guy in the comment of this post.Ray Wilson of Music From Outer Space
Update via Suit and Tie Guy in the comments:
"a few clarifications:
a) it was technically the "Ray Wilson Etcetera Ghetto System", as only 3/5ths of it were derivative of Ray Wilson boards. there's also the Yves Usson Gate Delay and the STG Soundlabs Moog CP Filter Clone Slash Passive Ring Modulator module. it is also in this video, which you made a post about a while back, processing something. not sure what really.
b) yes you are correct, A. Non Emouse. filters and ring modulator don't really have much to do with one another. however, these filters and ringmod are both passive ... so they have that in common. and yes i fooed the hole puncherement on the ringmod bit. it should have been upside down, so to speak."

Guess the Yamaha.
Update via Georg:
"There is a 4 DVD set availble with the Complete first Season of the TV Series,
which had quite some interesting shots of Bruno Martelli playing his
synths. In the movie there is only few shots about synths.
The English version of the DVD is available since Nov 2005.
There is a German DVD set announced for 30.06.2006 with German, Englisch and Spanisch
soundtrack, Subtitles in German, Englisch and Finnish (sic)

Access Microwave Programmer
Not the best shot in the world, but you don't see these often. Knob box for the Waldorf Microwave 1. Access made these and the Oberheim Matrix-1000 programmer before they started with the Virus series of synths. Title link takes you to more shots pulled via this auction
MOOG Sonic Six
A couple of shots via this Craigslist post sent my way via brian comnes.Details: "the Sonic Six was well suited for demonstrating the capabilities of electronic sound synthesis in educational institutions before finding its way into sound studios and live performance. This self-contained Moog synthesizer is comprised of: 2 VCOs, VCF, VCA, a ring modulator!, an articulator, high/low 1/4" outputs, pitch control, glissando (portamento), X/Y waveform settings, 2-voice capability, built-in amplifier/speaker, and can be connected easily to an external amp/sound system."
