The pics are via this auction for one for parts.

Not the best pics but I thought they were worth capturing for anyone interested, and as you don't see the inside of these often.

via the listing: "Extremely rare and unusual Clef Microsynth B30 in pieces. This is not a project for the faint hearted as they synth is in pieces and does not work, a project for someone skilled in repairing/restoring synths. As far as I know these were built by Clef Electronic music (late 1970s) in conjunction with Practical Electronics magazine to offer a mono synth at an affordable price Kit Form or built. I don't know if this was one of the kit models or ready built."

You rarely see the pedal.

"Legendary 70's synth. The Transcendent 2000 was one of the first commercially available synths to be available to the public. It was sold as a kit and this one was built by myself. It was never used in anger and was put away with other band gear in a store room. Now I am having a clear out and it's up for sale.

There is lots about this synth on the internet. Designed by Tim Orr this type of synth was popular in the late 70's early 80's and in particular was used by Joy Division. These are fairly rare beasts , especially a working one. I have checked the synth out and adjusted some of the key contacts to give better contact / overtravel. This was a weak point on these synths as they are fairly delicate. So here we have a fully working example of this traditional analogue synth. All the keys work , all the controls work. Overall it is in good condition for its' age. It is monophonic ( one note at a time) but has some great sounds /effects. If you are not familiar with this synth please note it must be plugged into a sound system/ amplifier etc. in order to use it , ie. no built in sound system but that's pretty standard for a synth."

Korg Hawk-800 (EX-800) Polyphonic 8 Voice Analogue Desktop Synthesizer SN 005417

via this auction

"The Korg EX-800 is an 8 voice polyphonic synth and this one is in really good shape (which I paid £300 for). This synth has been modified and includes additional knobs for - Filter cutoff, Resonance, pseudo FM amount , Noise + a switch to choose a 12dB or 24 dB filter. The desktop version is very hard-wearing with its metal case, also giving it a good weight.

I have also modified it further by installing the HAWK-800 upgrade (the kit costs about £100 to buy + my time to install) which adds an unbelievable amount of features to the original synth. If you go to https://www.hawk800.com/ this explains in detail all the extras you get from it."
