Korg PS-3100 Polyphonic Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Upgraded with MIDI which allows you to utilize all of the modulations while you sequence some polyphonic space funk (when you dial in the resonators this thing can sound like a funky clavinet). all edge card connectors have been serviced (a major issue with old unserviced PS series). The 3100 has the resonators that the 3200 does not which is the main effect that gives it the desirable character. When I figured out to send both the Final Out and Direct Out and blend them into my Ms50 mixer (any mixer will do) it opened up a thick full sound unlike anything I have heard on YouTube videos. This was serviced by Tone Tweakers and is in excellent shape cosmetically and works perfectly."
On a related note, KORG has announced a new PS-3300 FS.

1967 Moog Synthesizer Catalog
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"1967 was the first year Moog had a synthesizer catalog to support their product line, which was entirely custom built at that point. The catalog front has minor wear on the cover, particularly on the bottom edge, that prevent this from being labeled as new/unused. All the pages are intact, none are creased or torn, there is no thumb wear or staining on any of the pages, no writing of any sort on the inside or outside, no dogears or damage. Included is a letter from R.A. Moog dated October 1967. The front cover is rubber stamped Joseph Sear Company with the Manhattan address. Sear Sound was his only sales rep. I will quote Bob Moog in his interview for the Vintage Synthesizers book (Mark Vail)
'Walter Sear had been beating a path up and down Madison Avenue, selling modular systems to commercial music producers who did work for ad agencies. He had something like 40 customers by 1968. But when Switched on Bach came out, the shit hit the fan.'
1967 was the first year any synthesizer manufacturer anywhere had offered the general public a catalog and this is one of them. Very few of these catalogs were ever printed because his scope was limited entirely to NYC, and this is almost certainly the only one left in this condition. If you're shopping for a gift for your favorite Moog synthesizers collector, they don't have one of these. This is a piece of music history."

Moog Sonic Six SN 2110

via this auction, also on Reverb
"Vintage classic Moog Sonic Six analog synthesizer from the early 1970s. Serial number # 2110.
Awesome, powerful original Moog analog sound from their golden era, with lots of cool functions and modulations.
All the functions work well on it and it sound great. Only thing it needs is keyboard-tracking regulation- that is, adjust a few internal calibration trimpots with a small screwdriver, to play perfectly in tune as you go up and down the keyboard. Directions freely available on the Sonic Six technical service manual pdf available online (right now the keyboard tunes a bit "higher" in pitch, that is it goes up in pitch more than 1v per octave that it needs - but again, other than that all the functions work great on it).
(Also since this is vintage, a couple of keys might double-trigger here and there if you don't use the synth for a long time, but they do clear right up after you play them a couple of time and thus exercise the keyboard contacts. Again a common vintage synth thing. )"

"A very rare and desirable Yamaha cs-80 that was modified by the Yamaha custom shop to have split and unison as well as a "FG filter mod" controllable by the selector switch to sweep through preset filter stages. There are a lot of extra circuit boards in the synth for these modifications"

UDO Super Gemini - Split Mode Exploration
video upload by Nick Komarnicki
"Exploring split mode improvising with some patches I made. Really enjoying working my way through learning all the things the synth can do. Keep getting lost in designing sounds as it’s very satisfying to mess around with all the settings and build out different sounds."
UDO Super Gemini - A Winter’s Night(single layer improvisation)
video upload by Nick Komarnicki
"First couple weeks with the Super Gemini. Having some fun improvising with a chill single layer patch I made. DDS2 set to make some wind effects with noise while DDS1 is using LFO1 as a second oscillator for the melody. Reminded me of a windy, snowy winter walk through the trees. Not a revolutionary patch by any means but has been relaxing and so inspiring playing around with the Gemini."
