MATRIXSYNTH

1961 Transistor THEREMIN by Synthesizer Guru Bob Moog

via this auction
"Increasingly hard to find, this nearly half-century-old issue of Electronics World contains a fascinating how-to on building that special effects staple of scores of classic sci-fi flicks, the theremin, by none other than electronic music pioneer Robert Moog. The feature article contains a complete schematic and parts list, as well as chassis layout and photos of the completed unit. There are even tips on how to play the ethereal instrument. You get the entire original 1961 magazine, not a couple photocopied pages like you find elsewhere on Ebay.

Also in this issue is a homebrew stereo balancer using 6FG6 magic eye tubes and a look at beam power tubes in VHF oscillators, plus an article on early computer logic circuits, both vacuum tube and transistor-based."

Rare Vintage Indian Drone Synth / Drum Machine

via this auction
"So here is a bizarre machine that I bought that makes drones. Called the "Sruthi Manasa - Thala". I've never seen one before and probably won't ever again.

It has 3 tones / oscillators that you can tune and switch that makes all the pitches the same, Auto and non-auto, and then maybe minor and major? says "ma and pa" and I am not sure, but it has something to do with the indian scale. Also a main knob that keeps the master pitch. it is in a specific rhythm that you can speed up / slow down, and you can also vary the "pluck" or attack of the tones. It also has a funny drum machine / rhythm that are just beeps and you can set the tempo for that too, but I don't think they ever sync up."
