[sdiy] EMS Synthi 100 insanely rare analogue synthesizer

[Sean Dynan]

Tom Carpenter has a wry sense of humour. My guess is that he has put this
on eBay so a wide audience can have a little chuckle. I am certain he has
notified the specialist synthesizer agencies about this Synthi, all of
which could find him a genuine buyer.

And, if someone did Buy It Now for £70,000 eBay/PayPal would take approx.
10% so Tom would 'only' receive approx. £63,000.
