via this auction "Here is a rare Wasp synth made in Oxford by Electronic Dream Plant in the 1970s. If you are looking at this you know how rare and wonderful theses old things are and how collectable they have become. Condition wise there are some cracks around the casing on the corners but nothing major, the synth works off batteries (never tried it with the mains) and the speaker and speaker/phones outputs work as they should. The touchsensitive keyboard has a scratch but this does not affect play. The Wasp has no dreaded 'drone' where the notes do not cut off, it sounds great! Some of the pots are a little crackly but work properly, the only issue is that on oscillator two the 'sawtooth' has a very weak signal compared to the 'squarewave' - it's hardly there, probably a dirty pot or loose connection. The knobs were replaced years ago with very expensive and accurate repros as all the originals had lost their yellow caps, all else is original. As with all vintage synths I'd recommend a service to get it tip top but this is certainly a working unit and sounds fantastic with a particularly evil filter!"
