"Up for sale is a very rare Hammond 102100. It is a single oscillator analog monophonic synth made in the mid 70's (1974?) by Hammond Japan. It was originally meant to be a preset synth that would sit atop your Hammond organ. Supposedly there were only 200 ever produced, and there are probably less than 50 in working condition. So I would say it is extrememly rare to find one in this condition. It is much like the other early mono preset synths from the same era: Arp Pro Soloist, Moog Minitmoog, Moog Satellite, Roland SH-1000, Korg Micropreset & Minikorg. All great synths, but this may be the hardest to find.
It is100% functional. All keys work perfectly, no messed up key contacts, sliders move easily, no broken buttons. Very very clean/good physical condition. There is a chip to the wood paneling pictured below. Other than that there is barely a scratch on it.
How it works: There are six factory presets. French Horn, Tuba, Violin, Sax, Clarinet, Solar Echo. These are selectable via the buttons on the right. To the left you have a programming matrix, with buttons for all the functions. The matrix has sections for the following functions: Waveform, octave (3 octave keyboard with 6 octave selectable range), Filter (7 filter envelope positions), Cutoff, 3 Filter Modulations, Envelope, Attack Speed, VCA envelope release, pitch modulation, and vibrato contact delay.
Each button is numbered, so actually remembering a preset is quite easy. You just write down the 7 digit number of all the buttons that were depressed.
Final, but important, note: The power supply is European. It reads 230v 50-60khz 20va. I tested the synth with a basic step up transformer and it worked great."

"For sale is a rare Arp 2600 TONUS logo grey face synthesizer, 2600 V2.0, dating from around 1971-1972. It has the Tonus logo and VCO4027, these early Arp's are highly sought after for their superior sound to the later versions. Just got it back from servicing, and it is fully functional and sounds amazing! Only issue is it is missing one slider cap. Regarding cosmetics; the tolex is very worn, with some stenciling on the outside, and peeling on the inside. The front panel is in pretty good shape. Includes keyboard with matching serial number, along with power cable and patch cables (not pictured). See pictures below for more details. It does have one mod: the keyboard connector is slightly different and more secure than the standard 6 pin version which is notorious for not working well."
