Polysynthi |
| Description |
Following the recent sale on ebay of Vince Clarke's junked Polysynthi for £4100 here's another of these rare specimens.
(VEMIA note: the main difference is that this is virtually as new, and has been checked by Robin Wood!)
Polysynthi was designed by Graham Hinton in 1978 when EMS re-located to Oxford from Putney and the first units were shipped in March 1979.
This example was the last one to come off the production line in 1981 after EMS went bust and all the stock was inherited by Datanomics. It has a Datanomics sticker inside giving the serial number as 616, but it is known that no more than 50 of these instruments were ever made.
This one has been in dry storage for 29 years and has been renovated by EMS in Cornwall. It is in near new, 100% working condition with virtually no marks. The only significant mark is to the vinyl covering on the right-hand side. Most of the panels suffered from flaking of the yellow painted areas but this one is perfect - see photos.
Weight: 18 kg
Dimensions for shipping (approx): 100 x 76 x 38 cm
Equivalent volumetric weight: 58 kg
VEMIA note: Wow. This is remarkable! Please check out the photos, and if you would like larger resolution pics please email pforrest@vemia.co.uk. |
