Doepfer

I'm sorry too, reading my original reply I may have been being a bit of
an ass with the tone of my questions.

Interestingly enough, the Doepfer A149 is remake of (part of?) the
buchla 266 module.
The graphics on the 266 panel should look familiar if you've seen the
149-1.

And according to this article, the 200 series modules were made from
1970-1982.

so maybe this module is part of the classic period you're interested in?
(well, the late end of it....)
