Kee-Bass Combo Organ Bass Synthesizer

via this auction
"1967 Rheem Kee-Bass Combo Organ String Bass Synthesizer. The Kee Bass is monophonic keyboard with high-note priority. The Sustain/Percuss tab functions like this: Switched to "Sustain", it plays like a regular organ - press a key and it sounds continuously until you release it. Switched to "Percuss", it plays like a piano. Press and hold a key, and the sound dies out; how fast depends on the setting of the Decay Slow/Fast tab. The Bass Booster, Mellow/Bright and Fuzz tabs do what you'd expect. Controls:

"Star Trek Transporter-style" Bass Booster lever.

Tabs: Tone Mellow/Bright, Fuzz Off/On, Mode Sustain/Percuss, Decay Slow/Fast, Power Off/On.

DIY Digital Analog Modular

via this craigslist post
"modules include:
-6x Square Oscillators ranging from low HZ for LFO/Clocks (maybe even under 1hz, I have no way to measure it.) up to 2+ mhz.
-ENV+VCA (voltage controlled ATTENUATOR), this module is used for digital signals, but you can input an analog signal, it makes it very crusty and strange sounding with analog. Attack and Decay.
-64 bit Shift Register, a very interesting module that can be used as a step gate sequencer, as an interesting buffer override/glitch module, bit reduction or more..
-Input module, used for inputting external signals, such as drum machines or microphones.
-2x 4 bit shift registers, can be used as a random bit generator, small step sequencer, bit reducer or more..
-2x 4bit binary counters, used as clock/octave dividers or more...
-4-bit DAC
This unit uses banana jacks. and also has 1/4" and 1/8" outputs."
