King Crimson EMS Synthi A With Modifications by EMS & Wood Case

via this auction

"This is a rare EMS Synthi A.
It was previously owned by Boz Burrell (Bad Comapny / King Crimson /etc.) and formed part of his collection of sythesisers that he used to hire out for studio use. The unit has been built into a sturdy wooden case to make it more sturdy than the original plastic briefcase, althought the lower part of teh plastic case is, I think, still attached. The wooden case itself is a bit scuffed as you can see but it does protect the unit well.

It was modified by EMS themselves with some of the standard mods that they did for several of their customers (see pictures).

It is in full working order. Boz gave it to me in 1990 when I was working for him as a sound engineer. I was helping to clear some of the older instruments he had and expressed an interest in this so he said I could have it. A few of teh capacitors have been replaced as has one of the power transistors which has been fitted with a heatsink.

I have used it myself in a couple of theatre productions in Germany and then we used it onstage for a while with my own band, That Legendary Wooden Lion.

If you have found this then you probably know what you are looking at but here is a list of features as provided by a previous seller of one of these.

3 Oscillators - all with a very wide range indeed
Filter section - including self oscillating resonance and Stereo Output Filter
64 pin matrix routing system - providing infinitely variable configurations, mod possibilities, routings, you name it. It is essentially a 3 Oscillator modular analogue synthesizer packed into a relatively tiny space, after all.
Ring Modulator
NOISE generator
Envelope Shaper - including Trapezoid
Push Button Trigger
Joystick - for cross modulation, bi-channel frequency control, panning, etc
Stereo Audio Out - including individual panning controls for each channel
Stereo Audio In
Stereo Phones output
Built in analogue reverb - really great, especially when it feeds back!
Built in stereo speakers
VU meter
Power cable - new, to replace the somewhat ailing old one; works perfectly"

"This is the 1191 model; the very first model released in 1974 (which in my opinion make it even more rare since there were less than 300 units total ever made.) It is in great condition considering it is 38 years old. There are a couple of chips in the wood and one scratch on the face I did accidentally when my screwdriver slipped off the screw (oops!). It has been serviced, cleaned, conditioned, and calibrated. I thoroughly went over her with a fine toothed comb and lots of T.L.C.(see picture of insides). I made a manual for it and even made a settings template so you can copy down all of your sounds. I made a video, as you can tell I am not well-versed, but I tried to demonstrate everything is functioning as it should..."

via this auction

"Here's your chance to own a fully working very rare Steiner Masters Touch Breath Controller!!! This not only doubles as an analog breath controller, but also has CV outputs to control your CV synthesizers. In addition the unit has unique analog filters built in, (think Moog-style) controlled from your breath!! Comes with the breath controller tube, and original manual. This unit is in excellent condition, with only a very minor scratchy fader (easily fixable with some contact cleaner). I am the original owner and even though the unit is from the 80's, very little use!"

ARP ODYSSEY White Model 2800 MK 1 SN 282165 with Patch Cards

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"It is a One Owner. I bought this item new, in Kansas City, in 1973. I used it very little back then and it has spent many years in storage. It uses the keyboard, switches and sliders to generate an infinite variety of sounds. All of these controls are working, and will modify or adjust the output sound. One slider is missing the colored plastic cap. I have been using ordinary computer speakers to play and test this synthesizer. (See photo) These speakers can be included, if buyer agrees to pay actual additional shipping. Speakers shipped separately. 19 panel overlays are included with this synthesizer."

KNAS Ekdahl Moisturizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"Barely used, this is the tuxedo model with black and white knobs. basically, the ekdahl moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. as well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. on top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. also, it incorporates an lfo that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. the ekdahl moisturizer has tons of cv / expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. the moisturizer is a mono unit.

the moisturizer was developed with the help of jason willett (half japanese, leperchaun catering), martin schmidt (matmos, instant coffee), joshua atkins (polygons, major powers), mom & dad and many more - thanks y'all!

what's in the box:
the ekdahl moisturizer contains exactly:
preamp (up to 10 times gain)
reverb
reverb / preamp wet/dry crossfader (knob & cv/ep controllable)

state variable filter with
lowpass/bandpass/highpass seamless crossover (knob, cv/ep & lfo controllable)
cutoff (knob, cv/ep & lfo controllable)
resonance (without resonance limiter)

lfo with
speed control (knob & cv/ep controllable)
square / triangle crossover
external output with output amplitude knob

filter / no filter wet/dry crossfader (knob & cv/ep controllable)"
