Univox Jazzman JM115 Vintage Keyboard by Crumar

via this auction

"Here is a super hip and rare electric piano up for your consideration. The polyphonic 61 key Univox Jazzman JR115 keyboard was made by Crumar in Italy and was introduced in 1974. It was only produced for a few years, so this keyboard is definitely mid-70's. The two low octaves have their own level control which is helpful for blending these octaves with the upper three. While this is not the exact same model of Univox that Dr. John played on his 1973 smash hit "Right Place, Wrong Time," this Jazzman provides the same dirty harpsichord sound used on the song's intro. Every key on this 5 octave keyboard produces a sound, aside from the low F. The two low F#s only produce a kick drum sound, and the high E does not seem to project the same sounds that the neighboring keys do. The keyboard is in good shape, although is does show some wear. One of the hinges for the lid is missing a screw as well. Overall, it is an easy to use vintage keyboard that allows you to tweak the tones just enough to help you dial in sounds. This could be ideal for the home recorder or studio that is looking for a unique vintage key sound. There is a Wiki page for Crumar, if you would like to read up on the company's history."

Endangered Audio Gristleizer - Throbbing Gristle Synth/Effects Box

via this auction

"The Gristleizer is either an lfo modulated VCA or VCF with adjustable Bias and variable wave-forms for the LFO. This Endangered Audio research effect is officially endorsed by Throbbing Gristle and offers everything from a classic analog tremelo effect to wild CV control throbbing woops from the variable VCF...

Background from the manufactures :
ASHEVILLE, NC APRIL 27, 2009ó Smashing Guitars has announced the release of the first of their new product line, the Gristleizer. The flagship of the newly formed Endangered Audio (a subsidiary of Smashing Guitars), the Gristleizer is an extremely rare and unique unit. Originally designed by Roy Gwinn in 1976, the Gristleizer is based on a design published in Practical Electronics and sold in kit form by Phonosonics. Chris Carter of the British industrial music and visual arts group Throbbing Gristle modified the kit in 1977, unleashing what is known as the Gristleizer. Lost to time, the unit has been re-designed and produced by Smashing Guitars Owner/Engineer Todd Kelley, with assistance from Charlie Howes. After months of research and consultation with Gwinn and Carter, the audio path has been kept original-- "we've taken what people love about the sounds of the original Gristleizer, and given them much more" says Kelley. The Gristleizer had its initial release at the sold out Throbbing Gristle performance at Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago on April 25, 2009, one of their first performances in the USA in 28 years."
