"This thing rips. Love it to pieces. It sounds beefy and has that classic buttery Moog filter to taste.
Would not be selling however I need to. I hope it finds a good home as it's treated me well and I love this thing.
Please take good care of Prodigy . Thank you!"

E-MU Emulator - Serial #000A (tenth) - serviced + media
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"It's hard to know where to start with this. First off, Emulator I machines are incredibly rare - I think something like 600 were made in total.
This instrument - well - is the tenth one ever made! The first machine went to Stevie Wonder, the next went to Captain, of "Captain and Tenille". From there, five Emulators were then sold to The Residents. This is believed to be one of these instruments.
I emailed Dave Rossum, and he says;
'I remember the Emulator 1's serial numbers were in hexadecimal, so this is serial number 10. I also remember that we used the Wildcard ROM when users had more than one E1, so they could use their disks to boot any machine.
I'm guessing this was one of the four we sold to The Residents. On the web they say their first one was serial #5. I have a vague recollection that the Residents didn't have their machines modified, but I have no certainty that's true.
Alternatively, it might have been a "demo" unit we used at E-mu and some employee bought at one of our old stuff auctions... The serial number 000A does sound vaguely familiar as some special unit.
Best,
--Dave R'
So there you have it. This machine has been gone over by a professional tech, and is working as it should. Here are the details;
The original floppy drive has been cleaned and calibrated.
The "Pratt-Read" keyboard has been rebushed, and contacts adjusted and cleaned.
Minor repairs to the power supply.
Synth has been tested and calibrated.
This machine does come with over 100+ 5¼" disks, many of which are original Emulator sample media. See photos. Note that it also comes with an original "Wildcard ROM" which will allow it to record and play any E-mu Emulator media. And unusually, it does not have the "ugly mod", which makes it very unusual indeed.
It is immensely heavy, and I'd rather local pickup / deliver anywhere in the Bay Area."

"in working condition. power cable and extra pins included (including three green attenuated pins ordered new from ems).
bought here on reverb for full disclosure — link to original listing
*IMPORTANT*
-the envelope lamp stopped working. this has had ZERO effect on the actual functioning of the envelope—just no fun flashing lights. i'm sure a suitable tech could fix it very easily. has made no difference in practice (actually made me use my ears instead of my eyes ;) )
-there is a minor fracture in one section of the plastic enclosure. again, ZERO effect on the instrument itself. included several close-up photos for full disclosure. not noticeable at all until you purposefully "pop" the fractured section out.
-the joystick stops functioning when the range knobs are turned past around 9"

Thomas Synti 1055 (Moog Satellite). Rare Vintage Analogue Synth
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Incredibly rare Thomas Synti 1055 Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer. For those that don't know, this is basically an improved version of the Moog Satellite. The Thomas Organ Company acquired the rights from Moog for the Satellite in 1973 and this was the result - it uses the same internal boards as the original Moog version. Thomas moved the position of the paddle switches, and lengthened the keyboard - which meant deeper bass.
I have to say this is by far one of the best sounding vintage analogue synths that i've ever owned. It can sound really creamy and fluid, but also really edgy and fractured when you engage both modulation and emphasis. It's very playable AND very useable.
This is a definite rarity so you are unlikely to see another one for sale anytime soon, if at all. It has been fully serviced by my regular tech for sale, so you can bid and buy in confidence that you are getting your hands on a rare analogue that is technically sound."
