Oberheim Expander / OB-Xpander?

via ConcreteCancer on the forum:
"Okay, my dad is trying to remember an Oberheim product that looked like the OB-X and was called an OB-Xpander.

Anyone have any info on these pups? They are mentioned on a few websites but i can't seem to find anything solid or pictures."

Note this is obviously not the Xpander. I seem to recall mention of the "Expander" on various synth lists and forumns in the past. I did a quick search in the archives here and on Google image search but came up dry. Anyone recall this one and/or know where we can find an image of one?

Update:

This one in via Vincent. Click here (note this is an affiliate link and supports the site, if you prefer a non affiliate link, click here), wait for the Amazon book reader to come up and then in the left search box, search for OB-Xpander. Click on the first link that starts with "page 170." In the resulting page, scroll down and you will see it.

The following is a question from Vincent. If anyone knows, feel free to comment:
"I was a Music Synthesis student at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in the late '80s, and I'm willing to bet that this photo was taken in one of their synth labs, as prototypes occasionally made their way past faculty and students for evaluation. '82 was 4 years before my time, but I'd swear it's from a Berklee synth lab. Can anybody confirm? I have an OB-8, rev B5 with MIDI; cutting it down to look like this in an 'OB-Xpander' format could be very practical, in 2010"

"Hi Paul Leishman from British new wave, dance, electronic pop and synthpop music artist Anjelicas Baby here. Just been experimenting with my Roland VG-99 guitar modelling processor in cubase. Here is a short demo piece entitled Sci-Fi Synth. All guitar and synth sounds are off the Roland VG-99 guitar modelling processor with the exception of the drums. I used a Jackson Performer PS4 guitar and a Roland GK3 pickup for anyone interested.
