Synton-Three bow-tie / handkerchief sets - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction

"Great fun - three mint unused unopened Synton promo bow-tie and handkerchief sets, in blue, red, and silver. Really nice moiree-type patterned material; a great piece of memorabilia. Very much from an era when men like Bob Moog and Felix Visser wore suits and had long conversations at trade shows. Sold in celebration of Synton, now that Felix is selling up his own gear."

Ppg-390 drum unit (rare prototype, n/p) - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction
"NB: THIS MACHINE IS A PROTOTYPE AND HAS NO PROPER CASING. IT IS ELECTRICALLY UNSAFE WITHOUT PROPER SHIELDING. ONLY BID IF YOU ARE A TECHNICIAN OR WILL HAVE IT MADE SAFE BY A TECHNICIAN BEFORE USE. Incredibly rare early PPG drum unit. Search for this on the internet and you will probably find evidence of only one machine - this one! Check the photo to see exactly the same knob pieces missing. The front panel (apart from the little bits missing on one knob and the four knobs missing on the right) is in excellent condition, and doesn't look anywhere near the 25 or so years old it must be. It uses EPROMS for sound storage - one seems to be missing. The amazing thing is that despite its ramshackle internal appearance (the largest veroboard circuitboard is also wobbly, because there is nothing to support the top) it partially works. Four of the sounds trigger and are well usable in all their 8-bit retro glory, and in theory it should be possible to get everything back to working order without too much difficulty. 240V, standard UK mains plug. BUT ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THIS MUST BE MADE SAFE BY A COMPETENT ELECTRONICS ENGINEER BEFORE USE."

Big Briar Model 331 Touch Plate - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction

"The third of the touchplates that came from Bob Moog's friend and European accomplice Felix Visser, this was the Big Briar production model, although it still looks totally hand-made. This time, there are four controls, but all control voltages as well as any power are routed through the seven-pin DIN plug. Serial number 1024. Untested at present."

Garage Sale 259

see the full post with more images on Buchla Tech

"Today's project was a broken 259. The modulation oscillator was not putting out anything in the sawtooth position of the switch. The Harmonics Order control was doing nothing, but voltage was effecting it. Judging simply from the outside of this module, I can assume it was not built at the Buchla factory, but was a kit purchased at the garage sale a few years ago. The blue LEDs (yuck!) and the black big knobs were the first tip off."

"i love this song... mostly for the eerie solo in the middle. apparently performed on a heavily modified Clavioline the keyboard player dubbed the "musitron". good name...

unsurprisingly i can't get the sound right for this...probably need to get some effects going on."
