Product Description
This is a hybrid machine consisting of a vintage cabinet and modern modules made recently by Sebastien Moumon at Moslab in France.
Please note, the keyboard has now sold separately so this listing is for the vintage cabinet and modules. Another keyboard (modern keybed and without modulation/control sections) is available by separate negotiation.
The Moslab modules follow the original design and the original schematics can be used for servicing (there are a few caveats where orginal components were no longer available).
The modules were a special order to ensure compatibility with vintage modules, so older 2500 modules can be dropped in next to the new ones if desired.
The keyboard and cabinet are vintage (Model 2002 cabinet serial no. 008) Keyboard (Model 3222) circa 1970.
The cabinet/keyboard were bought new direct from Tonus/ARP instruments by US Free Jazz Pioneer Paul Bley in 1970.
Only around 20 x Model 2002 cabinets were produced before the design was changed to incorporate a full metal frame (model 2515).
Around 100 x units of the later 2515 were produced making the Model 2002 much more desirable in terms of collectability.
HISTORY -
