Arp Avatar vintage analog synthesizer

via this auction

"Rare Arp Avatar vintage analog synthesizer in mint condition works flawlessly, is perfectly tuned and scaled, and comes with original manual, hex pickup, ARP voltage pedal, ARP switch pedal, even the template for installing the pickup! All charts and manuals are in pristine condition, too.
The sliders are smooth and clean. Switches are tight and accurate.
I used this synth under cv/gate control and have no reason to believe there would be any problem if you want to use as a guitar synth. Everything is included. There is also an original tech manual and setting charts also included.
The Avatar is a cool alternative to the 2600 or Odyssey synths, allowing you to control from a midi to cv converter such as the Kenton Pro-solo, and being able to stand upright for easier access to the controls."

Theremin by Theremaniacs

http://www.theremaniacs.com

"The Theremaniacs theremin is a simple and durable ANAOLG design made from readily available standardized parts. The end result is a lower cost product without future obsolete or hard to find components.

This is an instrument that is sensitive and stable enough to play a melody without having a coarse annoying tone that digital chip Theremins can produce."

Interesting side note: the Theremaniacs theremin was used in The Destroyer guitar featured here.

Wiard 300 Series 391 Sequantizer

via this auction
"This Sequantizer , a sequencer-quantizer module, is a voltage stage-selectable eight step voltage source with semi-tone quantizer, lag processor, control voltage mixer and transposer. The unit implements most of the stage performance controls from a Roland TB-303 including octave transpose up, octave transpose down and slide on/off. Each stage has a diode isolated gate output which can be multipled together for an accent bus.

The quantizer has an external transpose input for a keyboard. The quantizer and 0-10V outputs are available simultaneously. Also, the digital counter and flash A/D input are X-ored together so adjustment of the "Select" input during sequencing permutes the sequence pattern. (like the random switch on a ARP sequencer, only more controlled.)

The Sequantizer module contains:
* An eight step analog sequencer. Stage selection is by voltage or by counter
* A voltage quantizer
* A control voltage mixer and transposer
* A jack multiple"
