"My buddy Mat snagged this on eBay. It was part of an estate sale. It was purchased new by a young man in the late 70's and he died before it was opened. His parents took all of his belongings and stored them in their house. When they died some 20-odd years later all of the stuff went up for sale."

Synthorama - Sequential Circuits and ARP Room

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post on Synthorama, the synthesizer museum in Luterbach Switzerland. Click here to check out shots of the Sequential Circuits and ARP room. Note that this is a separate room from the ARP and EML room posted yesterday. It is adjacent to that room. Remember to click on the "All Sizes" link when you get there for the full size shots and click on the synthorama label below for all posts. Note the wall keys. They didn't do anything as far as I was aware of when I pressed them. How knows, maybe they took some pictures of me. :) Below is a mod on an ARP Odyssey Gold an Black version.

Recorded at the first shot, so there are some mistakes (as always).
