The SIEL Orchestra 2
Italian analogue five-octave synthesizer from 1983 that I found next to the
dumpsters on my way home (“A keyboard,” I thought. “If the mechanism
works I can probably make a software synth out of it.” I got it home
and it worked perfectly, still accurately tuned after all these
years) has had a hard time lately.
It suffered a fall
while going from A to B one night and has lost one of its levers and
three or four or its pirulini - those little brown plastic knobbly things
that sit on the end of the levers. It still works, though.
Now where does one find spare classic synth knobules?!

Hey, nice find :) I played one of these a few years back. It has a really nice string ensemble which is paraphonic (like an organ) and 1 osc mono synth. I use FXpansion Amber to get these kind of sounds now:

Synthesizers don't get much cooler than this. Congrats! Very nice piece of hardware.
