Rare 1974 Roland SH-3 Synthesizer SN 240400

via this auction

Note this is not the the more common SH-3A model. Surprisingly a few have come up in the past.

Update: see this post regarding the Moog filter. Apparently the SH-3 does not have a Moog filter as stated below.

"Vintage 1974 Roland SH-3 Synthesizer - one of less than 50 [see update below] made. First model. (Lawsuit model)...

The following is a blurb I found at the wikidot forums (wikipedia):

The Roland SH3 was produced in 1974. It is more rare than the SH3A which was put into the market after Moog sued Roland for the original SH3's filter design. It is believed that less than 100 of these were ever made. The replacement SH-3a is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Roland from 1974 to 1981. It is unique in that it is capable of both subtractive synthesis and additive synthesis. Two LFOs and a unique S&H section provided capabilities not found in contemporary self-contained synthesizers of the time. The rhythmic pulsing in the Blondie song "Heart of Glass" is an example of its sound." SH-3 vs. SH-3A

Updates via otto in the comments:
"info on SH-3: here"

"There were probably closer to 700+ of these made. The less than 50 seems to be a myth spawned from a sound on sound article. Still not all that common."

Don Martin Moog Modules

images via this auction

The infamous Don Martin Moog modular. For those that do not know the story, Don Martin obtained the rights to the MOOG name after the company went under and while Bob Moog was doing business as Big Briar. Bob Moog eventually won his name back, but not without having to fight for it. You can see a letter from Bob regarding the name in this post. Be sure to click on the Donimoog or Don Martin link at the bottom of this post for more. The "Donimoog" refered to the Don Martin Minimoog. You can see some in the prior posts.
The modules in these auctions are an interesting bit of synth history.

Modules listed (note the first 901A nd 910 power supply are genuine RA Moog):

1 x '71 Moog Modular 901A Osc Controller Module
1 x RA MOOG 910 power supply
2 x MOOG 901A / Don Martin 9501B
2 x MOOG 911 / Don Martin 9511
1 x MOOG 902 / Don Martin 9502
1 x MOOG 904A / Don Martin 9504A

Note the Don Martin modules added the 5 after the 9. Also note the 901A is a 9501B? Not sure if that was a typo in the auction or the correct labeling per Don Martin.

Seoul Drive

"This is a drive through Seoul in a taxi. He was going quite fast. I just got the camera so I don't know what I'm doing. He also took me on the scenic route. You can tell in the video. I didn't know. You can see his name and picture.
It was a morning in 2000 after going to the bars."
