EML Electrocomp 100 Semi Modular Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"According to legend, this was the first synthesizer produced by EML in the early 1970's, and I've also heard that only 200 were made.. This particular one has a serial number of 199. At least, that's what we think is the serial number. It's marked on board three (internally) as such. The circuit board also reads "11/71" as the manufacture date."

Moog Micromoog SN 2801

via this auction

"The micrmoog is a one oscillator mono synth, considered a poor man's minimoog, same filter design and fat sounding. A cool keyboard for bass, leads and effects. The ribbon controller is working great and very cool feature! The best is the external audio input so you can process sounds through the Moog filter."

Untitled [Radio Tuner Module by Tom Whitwell?]

No description for this one. Curious if it's FM, AM, or both.

Update via Tom in the comments: "Hi Matrix, it's a simple FM radio with voltage controlled tuning, based on a very old idea from Don Buchla (and his amazing $1,250 Quad Polyphonic Tuner). Thanks for the link!"  Also see this previous post.
