"This Oberheim OB-8 was completely restored to it's original specs by Analogia....

The Oberheim OB-8 was an analogue synthesiser launched by Oberheim in 1983 and discontinued in 1985. It featured a 61-note piano keyboard, LFO modulation filters, external cassette storage, MIDI capability and 120 memory patches, and used the Z80 CPU.

This synth is owned by Jeff Lorber , a Grammy Award-nominated keyboardist, composer, and record producer. Google him , quite a resume. You can hear this synth on Jeffs records It's a Fact , Heat of the Night and Private Passion albums .

JH Phaser Demo

via JH:
"I made a rough (very rough) demo with my varislope phaser tonight.
It's done with alligator clips all ove rthe board instead of proper panel
wiring, but I got some unusual sounds out of it, I think.
Not very typical for a phaser:
http://www.jhaible.de/varislope_filter_phaser/varislope_unusual.mp3
(First few seconds: Unprocessed input signal. Then all kinds of modulation,
mostly sample and hold and self-modulation, high resonance. Towards the end
of the clip, input signal is removed, and phaser runs on the edge of
self-oscillation. Don't turn it up too loud - danger for your ears and
speakers! Everything is modulated with the on-board LFO only!)

The on-board LFO has the capability to morph between waveforms. This is
demonstrated in this short video clip:
