Oberheim OB-12

via this auction

Not the best shots, but I was just thinking you don't see these often. I'm curious how many were made. For those new to the OB-12, it was a virtual analog synth by a company named Viscount who mainly made organ synths. They licensed the Oberheim name and made the OB-3 and OB-3 squared organ modules as well as the OB-12. The prototype OB-12 was white. Update: link updated.
