Buchla 100 Synthesizer Modules

" Three Buchla modules including one of a kind hand made Lag module.

First 2 up are an original Buchla 124 patchboard module which has been coupled to a custom patchboard module that converts signals to RCA jacks from the 1/8 jacks making it easier to interface with newer amps and other equipment. After some recent repairs all jacks and wires are intact. There is one jack that looks like it was designed to feed a wire through it so I have left it untouched. It has various labels that I thought best not to remove, they are fun to look at and imagine who may have made them.

Also included is a Buchla 100 type Lag controller module custom built.

This is a very interesting module for the Buchla 100 modular system. It came from a fully functional Buchla synthesizer and is totally compatible with the other 100 series modules. The cool thing is it seems to be a one of a kind custom module. There was no Lag controller in the standard line up of modules in either the 100, 200 or 200e series, so apparently some one had one made. It's very similar to the other modules from the system, same connectors, etc and will add a totally unique sound ability to any 100 system. I purchased the modular system in the late 70's in about 10 year old condition, so this module was made around the same time as the standard modules which gives it that great vintage analog sound. Also interesting is that I purchased the Buchla modular from a studio on Bleeker st, NYC, where Buchla himself used to teach and build beta modules, so who knows. It is very rare to find a custom vintage module for these systems and will turn any Buchla modular into a truly unique machine. This is a one of a kind item.

The creator of the module definitely took it seriously. It's made of similar materials as the other modules with a brushed stainless steel plate. The connectors and knobs are measured out evenly and are professional labled. It's in decent condition for it's age, some small scratches, but the electronics are intact, pots turn smoothly and appear operational. One of the knobs was missing when I bought the synth and I replaced both with new ones to make it functional. It worked fine on my modular years ago with no need to connect to power as the pots and caps are just delaying the signal. I no longer have the modular system, so there is no way to test the module again. It is sold as is as a vintage collectable. Serious bidders only please. Buyer pays actual shipping and insurance."

"The unit has recently been serviced by Wine Country Productions to the original factory specifications and has little to no physical blemishes. Has J-wire keyboard, which is preferred over the membrane type."

"Great little analog synth from the 70's,

Has a great built in spring reverb and flanger

This synth also has aftertouh which makes it extremely versatile

Lovely sounding filter which can also be moded to have an input

The synth itself is in very nice cosmetic condition for its age,
the only bit of damage is a missing cap for Trombone/Tube Slider but the slider is still fully functional (pictured)

Electronically the synth is fully working other than the flanger working intermittently when turned on, this is most likely a loose connection"

Light Controlled Toy Organ Circuit With Power Starve And LFO

"Based off of the schematic for the 'toy organ' I have built this handmade electronic musical instrument, called 'The Wench'.

It has a series of 8 buttons, which are not in any particular musical scale. There is a photocell to the right of these buttons that can control the overall pitch when selected. You can also switch to the low frequency oscillator for siren like effects.

There is a "starve" knob that controls how much voltage the circuit is getting. For "normal" operation, have this knob turned all the way up. When you turn it down it changes the character of the sounds dramatically. Use it in conjunction with the LFO, even if the LFO is not switched on, for interesting effects.

There are 2 body contacts to the left of the buttons. These effect the pitch of the notes when you touch them both at the same time.

The Wench has a built in speaker, and a 1/4" mono output jack so you can process it's sounds or plug it into your amp, mixer, etc.

Runs on 1 9v battery.

Housed inside a sturdy cigar box with rubber feet added to the underside for grip.

A great toy for experimental musicians, as it lends itself more to "noise" rather than "music". Use the power starve, light sensor, body contacts and LFO to get crazy sounds from sputtering sqeaking and bleeps to screams, lasers, squeals and video game sounds. The built in speaker is very loud and the ultraviolet leds will pulsate with the sounds!"
