"Yes, this is /that/ VCS-3, the instrument used by Delia Derbyshire, Pink Floyd (e.g., "On the Run"), Jean Michel Jarre, Todd Rundgren, Hawkwind, Roxy Music, King Crimson, and The Who--just to name a few.
If you're interested in bidding on an instrument this pricey, then it is because you know what it truly is: /priceless/.
This particular VCS-3 (see pictures) has the following cosmetic problems: some of the knobs are missing their brass covers and one of the matrix pegs is missing. The fool who owned it before me added some kind of portamento button to the keyboard, so I'm just writing the keyboard off (i.e., not really factoring it into the price). The keyboard /does/ work, however, and I'll include my homemade Jones connector in with the lot...
The VCS itself works fine, v/oct control of each VCO, envelope trigger, etc., using the connectors in the back. I've only been able to explore this instrument a little: sufficed to say, every parameter sounded to be working (the reverb is especially interesting, very "Radiophonic workshop" sounding).
The thing is too special for words, but I just can't afford to sit on it now, supposing their may be someone out there willing to pay top dollar for a rare piece of musical history...

"DOCTOR FLICK:
"Clicks are produced in 24 frames per second calibration for American and European film scoring when the VIDEO switch is off. United States models will operate in 30 frames per second calibration for video scoring when the VIDEO switch is activated. European models produce 25 per seconds calibration when the VIDEO switch is on.
Tempo in the selected calibration is set thru the three digit rotary switch assembly which indicates tens of frames, frames and 8ths of frames. Additionally, click rates of 1/16th or 1/32nd frame resolution may be specified by the +1/16 and + 1/32 switches. When either or both of these switches are active, the tempo indicated by the rotary switch assembly is augmented by these frame values.
To sync the internal metronome place all sequencers and drum machines in Play mode. All instruments will commence to play upon the beat which follows the pressing of the DOCTOR FLICK PLAY switch. To stop, press the PLAY switch again.
To synchronize to a click track on tape, activate the SYNC switch, connect the click from tape to PULSE IN, and set DOCTOR FLICK tempo controls to match tempo. PLAY switch will cue in or out on the beat as with internal sync operation, and the START switch will cue in or out immediately.
The metronome is started or stopped with the START switch. Optionally, the metronome can be started by application of a pulse of at least 0.7 Volts to the front or back panel EXT TRIG input.
Click output is available at both front and back panel OUT jacks. Loudness is set by the LEVEL control. Both outputs are low impedance and can drive headphones directly.
Sequencers and drum machines are synchronized thru their Clock or Sync inputs by connection to the appropriate DOCTOR FLICK output.
To create individual triggers from audio, connect audio source to PULSE IN jack. Connect TRIGGER to arpeggiator, gate, or individual drum trigger inputs. Adjust audio input level for compatibility. Plug all the way into the TRIGER jack to obtain rising edge triggers, half way for falling edge triggers.
This device can be switched for AC power sources from 115 to 230 Volts.
The cap of the Level-rotary is missing as well as the LED of the PLAY switch."
MINI DOC:
'The Mini-Doc is an essential tool for your analog studio. It is a tape sync and time-based converter. 'It allows you to synchronize your TR-606 with your CR-78--or clock both to a click track!" This Mini Doc is in good condition. The Instructions are on the top of the unit:
BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sync 12 24 48 96 64 384 Variable
Roland step programmed Drumulator Linn Oberheim Wave PPG Fairlight Synclavier
Korg sequences MXR Drum Simmons Polysequencer
Memorymoog Emulator
'Connect a device clock output to any one of the Mini Doc inputs. Connect any or all of the Mini Doc outputs to clock inputs on devices. Connect start output to start/stop footswitch inputs for automatic reset. Click output provides a quarter note metronome tick. Connect output of either channel to arpeggiator clock inputs. Select one of eleven rhythmic values with rotary switch. Invert offsets rhythm by half its value, useful for stereo effects. For sync to tape, record a device clock output on a tape track. To use, connect recorded device clock to Mini Doc input. To obtain individual triggers, connect drum track to any input jack. Set channel one rotary switch fully counter clockwise. Adjust drum track level for compatibility. Triggers appear at the channel one output. Connect power cord to any AC outlet of 100 to 250 volts.'"

FutureRetro Mobius Sequencer

"The Mobius is a one-track sequencer designed to control virtually any type of synthesizer or sound module ever created. It has the ability to record and/or transmit MIDI, control voltages, DIN sync and more. It can be used with rarest of vintage synths to the latest MIDI equipment. It offers a simple, intuitive, classic drum machine-like programming interface and can be used to sequence in real time, as a step-sequencer, or even a MIDI-to-CV/Gate or DIN converter.
There are 256 patterns in its memory. Information recorded includes note duration, pitch, accent, glide, loop point, and time signature. Patterns can be edited on-the-fly using copy/paste, pattern shifting, pattern transposing, multiple pattern cueing, and LED chase. It can store up to 16 songs with a maximum of 3580 measures per song. Songs may be chained to play one after the other for extended performances.
The Mobius gives you that vintage sequencer style control of your analog or MIDI synth. Besides MIDI, it features V/OCT CV OUT, HZ/V CV OUT, +12v GATE OUT (switchable for positive or negative type gate), +12v TRIGGER OUT, +5v ACCENT OUT, +5v CLOCK OUT (for arpeggiators, analog sequencers or divider circuits), and +5v CLOCK RESET OUT (for resetting analog sequencers or dividers). And with its Accent and Glide/Portamento effects it's more than ready to accurately and authentically control your TB-303, or act as a MIDI-bridge between the 303 and your MIDI devices. Of course, it can also act as a MIDI-Interface for your other analog CV/Gate/DIN gear too. Slave the Mobius or use it as a Master via MIDI, CV, Gate, Analog Clock and DIN sync. Patterns created in the Mobius and FR-777 are inter-changeable."
