Pics of the inside below.
"This is a rare gem of vintage sound, lovingly restored to bring the 1975 Korg PS-900 back to life. The power supply section has been professionally upgraded with modern components for better performance and reliability, as shown in the latest photos. Apart from this, everything else remains fully original and has been meticulously cleaned. It's in excellent shape, with just a few minor scratches—remarkable for a synth of this age.
There seems to be some confusion about the naming (sometimes called PS900), especially since the face plate says 'Synthesizer Korg Preset.' The 900PS is quite a basic but very interesting monosynth. The 900PS definitely 'borrowed' some ideas from the Pro-Soloist. Instant selection of 29 different tone colors. From the sweet sound of a violin to the chugging of a steam locomotive. Sensitive soft-touch switches and plentiful controls provide a wide variety of effects including vibrato, repeat, even the harmonics you need for a Hammond organ tone.
The PS-900 isn’t just any monosynth. It's a legendary preset synthesizer with 29 pre-programmed sounds that capture the rich, raw character of true analog. While minimal adjustments are possible, you’ll find dedicated sliders for tweaking vibrato, attack, sustain, harmony, and the Traveler Control, which governs the VCF cutoff for classic filter sweeps.
But the real magic lies in the touch bar. This unique feature, positioned at the front of the keyboard, unlocks creative potential like no other. With switches that activate portamento, vibrato, forte, repeat (note retrigger), or pitch (a semitone drop), the touch bar allows you to play with expressive, evolving textures and unexpected twists. It’s a performance feature that truly sets the PS-900 apart.
The 900PS has 29 presets: Timpani, Electric Bass, Synthe Bass, Piano, Harpsichord, Shamisen, Banjo, Mandolin, Xylophone, Tuba, Bassoon, Horn, Cello, Trombone, Saxophone, Voice, Clarinet, Accordion, Trumpet, Funky Trumpet, Synthe Trumpet, Oboe, Violin, Recorder, White Noise, Scale Noise, Harmonics I, Harmonics II, Harmonics III."

Roland System 100 Model 102 Expander w/ Back Panel Brace
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
Note on back of brace pictured below:
"Because the 102 Expander Unit stands up on end, it sometimes has a tendency to fall over backwards when operating the controls on the front panel.
This can be prevented by attaching the enclosed panel to the bottom of the 102 Unit as shown in the drawing. The portion that sticks out . . under the 101 Unit preventing the 102 Unit from being pushed over."

STEINER-PARKER SYNTHACON MODEL 174 SN 1301 B
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"The Steiner-Parker Synthacon is a monophonic analog synthesizer that was built between 1975 and 1979 by Steiner-Parker, a Salt Lake City-based synthesizer manufacturer. It was introduced as a competitor to other analog synthesizers, like the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey. The Synthacon includes three voltage-controlled oscillators, a two-pole resonant Sallen Key filter, two ADSR envelope generators, a pink and white noise generator, and a 49-key keyboard. While the Synthacon was not a modular system, signal routing could be achieved through a series of switches."

Buchla/Tiptop 259T | A Legend Revived
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I don't think this module needs any introduction in Eurorack. Don Buchla inspired countless complex oscillators before it inspired Serge Tcherepnin and digital FM pioneers like John Chowning who brought FM on a chip to Yamaha. The 259 is a landmark VCO. One could assume it would old compared to modern gear like the DPO, Cs-L, Furthrrr, Brenso, Verbos CO and many more, but the 259 has a unique sound you will not find anywhere else.
There's 50 years between the 259c and the Tiptop recreation. A lot has changed. The original featured eight vactrols, but the T has none due to Hazardous Substance Regulations (RoHS). It's fair to say it's impossible to stay faithful. Autotune wasn't finished yet, it relied on the forthcoming 300 series that never took off. Remote/local control relied on Easel programming card tech which is useless in its eurorack incarnation. Tiptop decided to add ART support, a proprietary protocol which supports autotuning VCO's.
Real Buchla 259's are extremely rare, they're mostly faithfully recreated clones. So I had no idea how the real thing sounds and the 1M $ question is obviously 'does it sound the same'. Spoiler alert: it does. This video also concludes my 259 origin story, so it's episode 04 in the 259 playlist, and episode 09 in my Tiptop 200 series playlist. It's a bit confusing but it it makes sense to me.
Bottom line, it's a beauty."

The darkest MOOG Subharmonicon jam ever
video upload by No Lake
"What happens when you plug a Cry Baby guitar pedal to a Moog Subharmonicon, well let's find out...
If you like dark and experimental stuff you should enjoy this one, otherwise, I suggest you to skip it^^
This is pure random freestyle, nothing serious.
I was too late for the weekend challenge but that doesn't stop me from doing something outside of competition :-)"
