ARP Odyssey Lumina by CMS

images via this auction
"This auction is for a super-rare, one of a kind, ARP Odyssey Lumina by CMS. This Odyssey is from the personal collection of Phil Cirocco at CMS. It is the one and only prototype for an upcoming illuminated slider retrofit kit for the ARP Odyssey and Avatar. Due to an ongoing relocation here at CMS, this mod is not available at this time and won't be available until the end of 08. This unit has been restored to brand new condition by CMS and features all new, color coded, illuminated sliders.

This is the one and only chance to get your hands on a drastically superior version of a classic synthesizer. The illumination of the sliders is remarkable, but that is not the focus of this modification. The replacement sliders are of a much better quality than the originals and feature a teflon bushing for much better action and tactile feel. The precision of these sliders makes tuning the VCOs much easier and the VCOs actually stay in tune! The modulation attenuators have a much better range. The filter FC and resonance sliders are never scratchy and have a wonderful feel when you want to "play" them.

In my opinion, the big thing wrong with the ARP Odyssey, from the very beginning, was the sliders. They were garbage from day one. Sorry Alan. Changing the sliders to high quality teflon units makes a giant difference in the operation of an ARP Odyssey. Custom light sliders.

Anyone know more about this one?

Update via Chuck in the comments: the image is via this auction. Someone on AH called out that it is a later OB-1A model which makes sense as Oberheim went with the gray on the OB-X and first OB-SX which both followed the OB-1.
