Buchla 207


via this auction

This one is being auctioned off by Ezra Buchla, Don Buchla's son.

"This is a Buchla model 207 mixer and preamplifier from the 200 series, made sometime in the early 1970's. It is quite rare and consists of all original components.

The mixer section includes 6 input channels, 4 of which have manual control over location, and two of which have voltage control of location. This section also includes a third, independently switchable mono output bus.

The pre-amplifier section has a single 1/4" input, three switchable gain/impedance settings and a potentiometer for finer gain control."

Regarding the Hobbytron:
"this is a very rare self-built stylophone by the german Dr. Boehm organ factory. The sound is different to the original stylophone."

Simmons SDS-2 Prototype?

"The missing link between the original Dave Simmons SDS prototype (which from what I've found is no longer in existence) and the somewhat successful SDS-III is the SDS-2. Like the original SDS it was just a prototype designed from spare parts and electronics lying around the workshop. In Bob Henrit's famous book about the Simmons history ("The Complete Simmons Drum Book") the only mention is a few lines on page 8. For decades people seem to have guessed that this old piece of gear was lost in the mist of time too until it suddenly surfaced on german Ebay and I managed to bring it to Sweden at a bargain price in September 2003."

You can find the rest of the story including more images and sound clips on Studio Sting. via jesper.

Update: jesper wrote in to say this might not be the SDS-2 prototype after all. If you know feel free to comment.
