Simmons SDSV (SDS5) classic analogue drum synth brain
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is the sound generating 'brain' of the Simmons drum synth system, famous for its punchy synthetic sounds (think 'Eastenders theme') and appearance on many '80s hits. The Simmons brain was usually triggered by the famous Simmons hexagonal pads, but it can be played by many types of acoustic trigger, by synthesizer voltage pulses, or it can be modified to work with MIDI (see the Kenton electronics website).
This system consists of a case/power supply, mixer unit, and five modules, bass (kick), snare, and three toms, tuned high, mid and low. All five modules have four settings; a factory preset sound, a manual setting with controls for pitch, decay and so on, and two programmable settings adjusted using mini-pots.
The case is also fitted with two Simmons blanking plates for the two empty slots.
There are none of the optional fittings such as an external case or rack ears, and no mains lead.
The good news; all five audio modules have been tested in another system, and work well.
The bad news; the power supply doesn't work. It's a 110V system, but because it's fitted with a Europlug socket, I think it has been plugged into 240V mains and has blown..."

Korg Lambda ES50 Vintage Analogue String Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Lambda ES50 is a vintage (1979 / 1980) poly-ensemble type synthesizer with slightly editable preset orchestral sounds. It is divided into two sections: The Percussion set includes preset pianos, clavis and harmonics; The Ensemble section has presets for brass, strings, organ and choruses. Filter and envelope controls affect the different instruments individually. The Lambda has 96 discrete envelopes and VCAs - two for each key - a very unusual design. There are also vibrato and chorus effects.
The Percussion group and Ensemble group each have their own separate volume contols and with the MS -01 controller foot pedal (also included), these can be blended during play as required. A joystick is proveded left of the keyboard for simultaneous control of pitch bends and chorus phase speed.
The String sounds are the nicest sounds this synth can create. With three oscillators you can vary and detune them enough to get a nice layered analog string. The piano sounds on their own are limited but they do add 'attack' to the blend of sounds as required. The Lambda is cased in a lovely polished wood that gives it that authentically vintage status. I have built a flight case (included) which has kept the original woodwork in very good condition except for two small chips on the front edge.
- Flight case included
- MS - 01 Expression pedal pedal included with its original manual
- Original sustain pedal included (it's working although this has had some DIY repairs over the years)
- Stereo and mono audio outputs with headphone socket
- On-board Tremolo and Vibrato effects
- The woodwork is original and in good condition except for two small chips on the front edge."
