Based on the tape it looks like this one listed last year. The price has gone up! The tape lists W.L.B. NIXON in London. If it's the same W.L.B. NIXON, he is the author of How a Computer Works - "University of London, Institute of Computer Science, 1969 - Electronic digital computers - 179 pages".
"This is one of 4 EMS Synthi AKS that was purchased to produce Dark Side of the Moon. They used this to produce On the Run, the intro Bass on Time and synth part on Any Colour You Like. I’ve used this to recreate the effect on the electric piano that John Paul Jones used a VCS3 for on No Quarter. 
It’s a dream machine and has loads of character. It took a second to wrap my head around tuning it but it’s a simple procedure that makes this much more usable than many people tend to report. I’m happy to make a YouTube video on that procedure and the idea behind patching with the pin matrix. This is The EMS Synthi AKS used by David Gilmour so I’m listing as a collectors item. It sounds amazing but you have to know how to use it to dial in clean sounds and I’m happy to demonstrate this for a serious buyer. I also have a DK1 keyboard that has been modded to be a DK2 (duophonic), this is $3500 if you are interested. This will also come with the templated patch cards Battle and Keyboard. I purchased an adaptor to be able to connect CV outputs (from my keystep pro) to the Jones connector which also helps make running a more complex sequence in a modern set up super easy."

Making Ambient With the Norand Mono (and friends)
video upload by Red Means Recording
"I got the idea recently that the pure analog tones of the Norand Mono would sound lovely through some effects. From there I cooked up an ambient patch using the Hapax, Peak, and Eurorack. Let me walk you through the patch and how it works."
