Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Analogue Synth SN 795008

via this auction

"1979 Oberheim OB-X Eight-Voice polyphonic synthesiser. It is fully serviced, re-capped and factory calibrated with a new memory battery fitted. It sounds absolutely stunning. The OB-X sounds far superior to the later OB8 or OBXa. Why? Because unlike the OBXa and OB8, the OB-X voice circuits are based on the legendary discrete Oberheim SEM module. The OBXa and OB8 are Curtis IC based designs. The OB-X filters, VCO's and VCA's are fully discrete just like the SEM module.

This is a true OB-X 8-voice(ie not a modified 4 Voice) from factory! See model number picture."

Update via 7ate9 in the comments: "the muffwiggler thread is here with more pics"

It looks like the system was from 1976 based on a letter from 1981:

"Dear Sir,

We send you some photos of that synthesizer, we built in 1976 for P. Baumann. Today it is used by Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream.

Sorry, but it needed some days to copy the photos. the big modules have the same size like MOOG's 960;VCOs, VCF's, and VCA's the same like two 902's. For further details we have to meet us and talk about, because every user has other interests to combine the modules.

Yours, sincerely

PROJECT ELECTRONIK GMBH

H.Heinze"

Update via Cornel in the comments: "The system is based also on ARP and PPG modules."

Dewanatron on Rhizome

via Rhizome where you'll find more pics and the full post.

Pictured: "Leon and Brian Dewan Playing the Dual Primate Console"

"Homebrew Electronics is a new series on the Rhizome blog. For these posts, I will be conducting studio visits with artists and inventors who create unique electronic instruments.

Last week, I met with cousins Brian and Leon Dewan of Dewanatron at Leon’s apartment/workshop in New Rochelle, NY. I first encountered their whimsical, one-of-a-kind instruments at a solo exhibition at Pierogi Gallery in Brooklyn a few years ago. Not only do they produce and exhibit their own instruments, they use them in performances and in recordings as well. They split the labor evenly - Leon builds the circuits for each instrument, and Brian crafts the consoles that contain them at his home in Catskill, NY. Despite their jetlag from a recent trip to Los Angeles (Brian had screened his film strips at the Museum of Jurassic Technology’s theater), the Dewans gave me a thorough walkthrough of their work, patiently explaining how each of their creations functioned.
