They can be expensive, they're coveted by single-ended triode valve
monoblock fanatics...

 

Everybody should take a quick look at Phil Cirocco's Novachord
restoration web site and listen to the mp3's, in honor of this great
acquisition.

Kind of a vacuum tube Polymoog, eh?

	Yes indeed.  Found it on eBay after watching for about three
years, located in Long Island, property of a now-deceased former CBS
engineer.  It will take a long time to put it into working order, but it
has been well-kept and is in good cosmetic condition and is completely
intact.
