"This is a Tellun Corp Nerual Agonizer dual spring reverb module, normally an MOTM module, built into a Hammond slanted case. It uses banana jacks for patch points, not 1/4" or 1/8".
A description from the site:
'The TLN-156 Neural Agonizer is a voltage controlled spring reverb processor. Although this module can be used to simulate room reverb with most audio signals, it includes numerous enhancements specifically designed for interfacing to a modular synthesizer. If you're looking for a smooth, natural sounding reverb system to make your synthesizer sound like its being played in the Concertgebouw, then go buy a Lexicon. This is not your grandmother's reverb tank, this is a noxious tool capable of inflicting some serious damage to your audio.
The TLN-156 features: an amplifier for controlling the input signal level, two reverb tanks that can be driven in series or parallel, separate recovery amplifiers and resonators for each reverb tank, a feedback amplifier with lowpass filter, and a deformation processor for combining the reverb tank outputs. Most parameters are voltage controllable and several patch points are available for adding additional signal processing. All inputs and outputs handle 10 Vpp audio signals and 5 volt control voltage signals (modular standard).'
It has a built in power supply - Frequency Central's Power PCB's, and comes with 16v AC wallwart adapter to power everything."

Check out the price, then check out this post from 2011. There are a few more images in this latest listing. Not a bad investment if it sells for anywhere near the asking price. The listing is definitely geared for those that want a mint 808 with original box and packaging and has money to burn. Cost is relative to how much you make and have of course.

Moog Source SN 1724

via this auction
"This Moog Source is in good condition, and comes from a smoke-free home. It plays well and sounds incredible. Serial # 1724. Includes power cable and copy of owner's manual.
Functionally, this synth is at almost 100%. Knobs, wheels and membrane all work perfectly.
Almost all of the keys work perfectly . . . The only playability issue is the middle "D#" key. As you can see in the photos, this key is slightly bent, and because of this it does not trigger every time it is pressed. However, if it is gently pushed back to the upright position and then pressed down, it works correctly. Because of this, I believe this key could possibly be replaced, thus restoring its functionality. There is a small plastic piece of the black key that broke off (and came out of the synth), and I think this is what's causing the key to lean to one side.
Also, the high "E" key is broken and missing a piece (as seen in the photos) but it still works correctly and triggers every time it is played. The broken piece of this key (along with the piece of the black key) will be included with the synth.
Cosmetic condition: Besides the two damaged keys mentioned above, this synth has the normal scuffs and scrapes and scratches that are to be expected of a vintage keyboard. There are also two small drips of pink paint on a couple keys. Please inspect the photos for the best idea of the condition of this synth."

TTSH ARP 2600 Clone

"Since early January 2016, the The Human Comparator discontinued the boards and panels to make room for more great products to come. This monster is now considered among the rare classics we spend most of our time hunting down and will surely go up in demand considering not many were built. I've had allot of fun building them and now its time to sell my last one.. well not really my last.. I've kept one for my self ;)
The TTSH unique neo style case was designed and hand crafted by IBYP's own designer Lou Davis. The Neo style case is inspired by one's perception of physics due to its sleek slanted design. It gives the impression that the case is on the verge of falling when viewed from it sides but thanks to the storage compartment in the back, the TTSH had a very solid base to stand on. The compartment makes it practical to store your cables, power supply as well as cue sheets or other junk we musicians tend to carry around. As for the case finish, a blackDuratex plastic paint was chosen for better durability and resistance while also providing a beautiful end product, catches the eye of everyone's first glance. The white ring edition speaks for itself, the 1/8" and the 1/4" ring connectors have been carefully coated white and a Moog style knob was added for the preamp volume control.
It is very easy to setup in any midi situation, just connect any midi controller, sequencer with a CV/Gate out to the CV/Gate input on the TTSH and you're ready to explore a universe of endless soundscape possibilities! I recommend anyone passionate about analog synths to go the extra mile and get this version 2 of TTSH, it's a musical beast, a must have!"

"Up for sale is Very Rare ACE TONE PS-1000 vintage analog monophonic synthesizer.
Ace Tone / Ace Electronics Industries was the predecessor to Roland, and it is said that PS-1000 monosynth was designed by the founder of Roland almost simultaneously to when Roland released the popular SH-3A.
The unit appears to be working fine, all the sliders and keys and knobs working well to the best of my knowledge. Maybe some slight scratch noise on the sliders, which could do with minor adjustment/servicing if required."

Adventures in Synthesis: Modular synth, organ, Rhodes, and drum machine
Published on Mar 4, 2016 Chris Beckstrom
"More about this project:
http://www.chrisbeckstrom.com/portfol...
An early morning experiment combining my DIY modular synth, a Hammond M-100 series organ, a Fender Rhodes, and my DIY iPad drum machine, improvised live and recorded into Bitwig Studio on Linux.
Patch notes:
In the modular, a square wave oscillator is clocking a 10-step sequencer, which is in turn modulating the pitch of 2 saw wave oscillators. The 3rd saw is being modulated by another square lfo (has the effect of a slow sort of trill between two notes). All 3 saws go into a low pass gate which is modulated (pinged) by the master clock, then into a distortion module, then a modular mixer, the big mixer, and finally into the computer.
The organ has a spring reverb unit that takes an RCA input from the tone generation section of the organ. As it turns out, if you unplug the RCA plug from the reverb you have a direct line out of the organ. The organ goes into the modular via preamp, then directly into the computer via an audio interface. I stuck a little screwdriver in the second manual on the organ and rested a trombone case on the Bb pedal so the it would sustain those notes.
The Rhodes is going into a tube preamp which is connected (alligator-clipped because I didn’t have the right adapters) to the built-in input on my Mac.
The iPad is running MobMuPlat, a platform for running Pure Data patches on iOS with a custom GUI. The drum machine is my own creation and it’s working out great! I have a little audio interface plugged into the camera adapter kit, and the output of the modular’s master clock is going into the interface. I added an external input “circuit” in the Pure Data patch, which lets the sequencer listen for incoming sounds and use those as the clock. (This is why a few times you can hear the sequencer skip some beats– when I jostle the alligator clips it misfires!). The iPad goes into a preamp in the modular, then to the big mixer, then into the computer.
Each of these sounds has their own track in Bitwig, which is a first for me– usually I record everything mixed down to mono or sometimes stereo. Some of the reverb comes from the spring reverb in the big mixer, some of it is a reverb plugin in Bitwig.
The organ is an additive synth, and moving the drawbars I can control the balance of various sine-like “oscillators” (tone wheels). Some day I’ll figure out how to use CV to control the drawbars, but for now I’ll just use my hands."
