Phil lives about 15 miles from me. He recently refurbed and modded my
Arp 2600 and I got to hang with hin, his Novachord, A fully blown out
Moog modular, arp 2500, seven or eight heavily modded 2600's, a few of
his own homemade modulars. His studio/workshop is mind boggling! He's
a great guy and my 2600 sounds amazing.

Actually, Phil's site is what finally made up my mind to track one of
these things down. I'd known of them for quite some time, but the sound
of the restored instrument just captivated me.
Here's the kicker. I am going to have to spend a lot of time
researching it, but from what I know so far, the previous owner
probably acquired it from CBS in the mid-seventies, where he worked for
years. If so, it MIGHT be the one that was used for episodes of "The
Twilight Zone" and many other historic programs. Like I said, I need to
research this and with any luck won't find dead ends at every turn and
I only have a vague suspicion with precious little evidence at this
time, but on the other hand, I so far have no refuting evidence. It
will be a fascinating project.
