NUSofting
Title link takes you to NUSofting, home to a number of soft synths including some a bit more esoteric like HarpTime, a Harp simulator, and Peti, a harmonium / accordion simulator. There's also your bread and butter synths, effects and more.

TAMA DS200
No title link, just this one shot via this auction.
I haven't seen one of these before. According to the auction, this is a "2 channel oscillator DS 200 Analog Drum Synth." If you know more feel free to comment.

Update via the comments:
"I own one. It has 2 oscillators, which can be triggered by an audio signal via the front jacks (there are no jacks of any kind on the back). The unit is supposed to replicate a kick drum, and it comes reasonably close, in a 1970's washed out fashion. It does not kick hard, but it does have a ridiculously long decay setting. It also makes those disco bloops and bleeps you've heard so much of. Where this thing really shines though, is in making noise. It has a long 'sweep' knob, coupled with a 'tone' and 'decay' knob that can make a sound go from growl to scream in a very guttural way. If your familiar with Wolf Eyes, they use it on just about every track."

Roland System 100m-191-J
No title link. Just this one shot via this auction.
I haven't heard the System 100m referred to as the 100m-191-J. Anyone know what the 191-J is?
Note this is another item from the Stephen St. Croix liquidation.
Other items here.
Update via the comments: "well, took a 1981 roland catalog and it seems they only mention the 191J (as 5 modules rack, the 190 being the 3 modules ...)"

Oberheim OB-SX
Click here for some pics via this auction.
Note this has the blue pinstripes. There was an earlier version with gray like the OB-X.
I've heard both that you can and cannot swap OB-SX boards with the OB-Xa. If you know, feel free to comment. The OB-SX was basically a preset OB-Xa with minor editing capabilities. Going left to right you have: Volume (knob), Auto Tune (button), Hold (button), Chord (button), Unison (button), Portamento (knob), LFO Rate (knob), OSC 2 Detune (knob), Filter Frequency (knob), Amp/Filter Attack (knob), Filter Decay (knob), Amplifier Release (knob), Pitch Bend/Mod Lever: OSC 2 Only (Switch), Narrow/Broad (Switch), Up/Down Octave (switch).
Seiko DS-250 Additive Synth
Remember Dave's Seiko DS-250? Looks like there is one up for this auction.
No title link. Just the two shots. If you are considering picking this up, do check out Dave's DS-250 page. I'm using the term "Synth" lightly.
That's a Yamaha DD55 in the background.
