Philip Rees MDS Midi to DIN Sync convertor 240v

via this auction

"Midi In
Midi Thru
Sync Out

It has an Australian plug on it but can be swapped out for other counties 240v plugs if needed.

It might just be that this is totally redundant but it is a piece of synth history and is worth keeping in the community rather than landfill.

It's case is made of plastic and perspex and show quite a few scratches as it was used in many great machine driven gigs and gave lots of people pleasure so it wears a few scars."
