PAiA Stereo Chord Egg 3790 from 1976
via this auction
"There are getting pretty hard to find. I have actually never seen another one. EGG stands for 'encephalo-gratification generator.' Wooooh...
In spite of the rather bloppy soldering job done originally, this circuit board worked for many years, but was put away in storage for the last couple of decades. Now, for whatever reason, it has stopped working. I have no idea why and just don't have time to try to fix it. It is time for someone else to experiment with this. The instructions give many ideas for modifications for different results. DIY fun.
It is a pretty cool synth, randomly selecting from 3 chords (I, IV, V) and fading them in and out by the individual notes. With a stereo effect from the filtering. The most fun I had with it was when I effectively overdubbed it 100 times, layering it up with my old 1/2" 4 Track. Quite a sound, like hearing a cloud."

Oscar digital/analogue synthesiser
via this auction
"...The OSCar is one of the great monosynths, with a legendary dual filter design that can range from moog like tones to vowel sounds.The oscillators are digital , but amazingly can sound warm and deep.They can also be programmed with your own custom waveforms with a unique harmonic synthesis system, give it digital tones and edge when needed.It has a very flexible step sequencer , with extensive sync facitlites and a built in clock divider that can sync to midi or analogue pulses.The envelopes have repeat functions that can create pulsed tones for instant basslines and there is an arppegiator.
The keyboard can transmit polyphonic midi information , letting you layer the OSCar with another synth.It also has an unusual key assign ( which can be tunrned off ) where a key off triggers the next held note.This can give some really great effects in basslines and solo's.There is a comprehensive LFO and the oscillators have their own PWM setting that doesn't use up the LFO for a rich chorus sound..."
