It's a terribly beat up thing that my brother is lending me. Most of the controls don't really work now, 'n' I made this video while I was trying to make them go, so typically - there's no music going on and it's quite grating on the ear :P

We've had it here for a while now and I'm bound and determined to try and actually make music on the thing.

One of the problems these things had was they weren't very easy to work on. Open it up. If you see what looks like a "glaze" on top of all the circuits, you may be screwed.

Also is it Monophonic or Duophonic?

i belived it was monophonic.

do you sell it?

A wikipedia visit says it is duophonic.

Well it ain't mine so I won't be selling it any time soon.... damn Morals of mine :)

Most of the knobs are makeshift crap that my brother glued on there. And most no longer move. We've talked about opening it up before.. never got around to it.

I have a keyboard. Its hung up by the front door which is pretty convenient really. Its got 12 hooks (a modest amount I know but you can hang more than one key on each hook which is handy).

I'm not sure of the make, it was bought from B&Q a couple of years ago. It was originally wood coloured but Mrs No Mates got all arty farty and painted it green and put a pattern on it.

I'm not sure if I'll collect anymore keyboards as I don't have that many keys. Half the keys I do have I've no idea what they're for. I think one is the shed key to our old house.

Keep up the collecting though, every house should have some useless rubbish in it if only to fill up the garage. You'll find that if you cut 12 inches off each keyboard they'll be much easier to manage.

They'll fit in the bin so much easier.

Actually, the wikipedia visit said it came in both, which I thought keyboardists remember. It was the first duophonic, but originally just monophonic.

It was their attempt to attack the Moog marketplace. If only they would have added a couple more oscillators, they would have knocked 'em right off. I remember that whole campaign.

Argh! I is no good reader.

Also it was go at innuendo1990 ;)

i dont know that much about synths but .

i do believe that it came out around 1975????
