"I.W. Turner Inc. Electronic Music Lab Modules. Includes Mixer, Electronic Switch, Triangle Wave Generator, Square Wave Generator, and White Noise Generator. All models except the Mixer require a 9V battery (not included). All items work, except for triangle wave generator (9V battery plug is missing). Someone cut the 9V battery plug from the triangle wave generator and I don't know where the black wire goes. The back cover is also missing from the Triangle Wave Generator. The sound seems weak on all the units but the mixer and the controls are scratchy, so I am selling it all AS IS. The circuit boards look hand lettered, but they may be printed I can't tell. From what I've seen online, these were made in the 70's."

Reminiscent of the ARP Educational modules. You can find a few more EML modules in prevoius posts here.

"Super rare EML synth modules. These can be used to run any instruments through them. Great filter sound as well!"

They remind me of the ARP educational modules. I don't believe these have ever been featured on MATRIXSYNTH before.
