CMOS Bugs

"8008 Bass & Bug Sounds from 2 half finished Lunetta modules.

2 CD40106 oscillators feeding a CD4077 Exclusive NOR gate + Frac & Doepfer 3U modules.

The CMOS modules are much better in person. Red LEDs are mounted off the perf board, behind the red perspex panels.

The LEDs on the left are the oscillators - flashing LED is a cap value of 4.7uf which gets nice a sssllloooowww, gonna put a 10uf in as well :-D

LED on the right is hung of the output pin of the 4077 to indicate when there is logic occurring - but mostly just for added blinken!"

EMS Polysynthi

via this craigslist post

"Designers: Peter and Rose Zinovieff, (Delay by David Cockerell)
Four Octave keyboard with Aftertouch.
Four Octave Oscillator Bank.
Noise and External input with envelope follower.
2 x VC LFO.
2 x VC ADSR.
2 pole/4 pole VCF.
VC Analogue Delay(This was the original design for what is now the ElectroHarmonix Memory Man) .
Less than 30 built.

This is a very special, obviously rare synthesizer. It is in excellent condition. I purchased this from Sonic Boom of Spacemen3 and Spectrum(I can provide proof/put you in touch to confirm this if you'd like). I had it serviced by a very well known EMS tech in August 2008. There is no serial number on this unit but Sonic was told that it was #1 when he bought it back in the mid 90's. Cosmetically, the biggest issue is that the plastic frames around some of the switches are gone. I never spent any time looking for these but I imagine that they are difficult/impossible to find. There are small tears in the tolex covering. All switches and pots are working 100%. The only thing worth mentioning is that during the shipment of this from the UK to SanFrancisco, the C key got pushed in about 2 millimeters and will rub against the C# key when pushed all of the way down. I'm sure that it would be a simple fix for anyone, but it never bothered me."
