Doerfler Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That is cool - god I wish I had a whole spare room to collect stuff like that eventually it gets old, just like the keyboards. Rule of thumb, it's easier to buy stuff than to sell stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntheizer Vilnius 3 80s Made In USSR https://reverb.com/item/33800801-syntheizer-vilnius-3-80s-made-in-ussr I want the Lell 22: https://reverb.com/item/33711290-lell-22-soviet-analog-polyphonic-synthesizer-1984 We need a real soviet synth expert to explain all these. Pretty impressive the variety which were produced, in a country which considered Rock and Roll a capitalist plot. But they were great at making copies of western designs, like the B-29 which was copied in a very short time once they forced a few down. But the Russians had many original designs as well, like the IL-2, which was the most feared close combat support ground attack aircraft in WW2, and possibly the most produced of any aircraft in the period. The T-34 tank completley surprised the Germans and was by far the most advanced design in the world when it appeared. [video:youtube] Germans soon copied the sloped armor and added radios and better guns, but none of the great german tanks of the later war could be produced in numbers that could really help. The T-34 could be made in a tractor factory. All things Soviet have been studiously ignored in the west.

Dr Mike Metlay Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Actually I came very close to owning a vintage Soviet analog monosynth. It was gifted to me by a friend in Russia who hand-carried it to New York, handed it off to a friend, who shipped it to me and had it stolen along the way because he'd cheaped out on shipping and sent it without a tracking number. I still want one of those hideous Formanta keytars.
