"3 ARP 2500 Cherry matrix switches. These are new old stock. They can also be used as a patching mechanism for any modular synth with the correct configuration. There are no manufacturer markings on the units but I'm guessing they are Cherry. The rear of the units shares the same technical specs as the Cherry unit. These are beyond rare will ship worldwide happy bidding!"
