Powertran Transcendent 2000

"This is an ETI (Electronics Today International) magazine project I built back in the very early 80's.
I used this synth for several years at home and remember it had been fully working before putting into long term storage (20 years) in my loft. I have recently replaced the mains transformer but that did not get it up and running. I now believe the fault to be a component on the power supply circuit board. This could be a lucrative project for anyone with knowledge of testing and repair of electronic circuit boards.

The Synthersizer is complete and externally in a clean condition, I have included the original filter sweep foot pedel. There are a couple of pages missing from the ETI project instruction manual but I have found and printed the pages from a file (which I can forward on in pdf format allowing you to zoom in for greater detail) on the internet which I believe completes the information. The original Powertran 79/80 catalogue has some writing on but is complete and is also included."

Cwejman S1 Demos

via doctorvague on electro-music.com

"Demos of the S1Mk2 controlled by 2 Doepfer A-155 sequencers and a few other support modules including a Modcan dual quantizer. The sound is S1Mk2 with no patch cords other than Gate/Trigger and CV in. Nothing on the audio except a UA 140 plate reverb and a stock plug-in limiter to bring levels in line. Triggers generated by a DIY interface described geekily here: http://www.electro-music.com/forum/topic-28737.html"

These are some general Odyssey mods that can most likely be applied to the Avatar: link"

Synthesizers.com Portable22+ modular synth w/Q118

via this auction
"Synthesizers.com Portable 22 system with bonus Q118 Instrument Interface module (a $92 value), allowing for external signal processing (voice, guitar, etc.) and triggering, similar to a Korg MS20. I received this system brand new from the manufacturer a few months ago, but recent bills are forcing me to sell. The item is in like new condition with everything 100% fully functional. The system has very rarely been used and kept in a smoke free studio. Will be packaged professionally with all information materials, patch cables, power cord (see below for everything included). Any questions please feel free to ask, bid with confidence.

These items are built to order, direct from the manufacturer and wait time can be in the many months. Here is your chance to own a modular synthesizer system without the wait, and for a lower price!
