“Rare as hens teeth, the EML Electrocomp 100 was EML’s second synth, only preceded by the 200, both of which were blue and only made for universities, the 100 preceded the 101 and supposedly less than100 were made in 1970 before they started selling to the general public. this one has a few mods on it, first osc 1 is hardwired to share the noise in the mixer section, so you can choose noise or osc1, there are switches to turn off each of the 4 oscillators, there is also a direct output added and a switch that turns off the VCA outputs, not sure why exactly this was done. The unit does seem to work completely as it should after giving it a good 30 minutes to warm up, however I do know the pots need to be cleaned, especially those in the envelope section as sometimes those pots specifically can cause certain functions not to work, usually if you spin the pot back and forth enough, they will come back but then definitely need a cleaning, he it’s 53 years old! The pots are sealed, so they can either be drilled and creaned or carefully taken apart and cleaned, I figure I will leave that up to the new owner, given the age of the synth it is sold AS-IS”

EML Electrocomp 100
“Nice Vintage ElectroComp EmL-100 Analog Modular Synthesizer, in blue.
“The EML-100 is the rare blue faced precursor to the EML-101. Disassembled, cleaned inside and out, fully refurbished by a vintage synth specialist with decades of experience, systematically tested over a long period, working great and sounding incredible! This restoration process – an attempt to future-proof this instrument so it continues to work well into the future – took 30 hours of skilled labor. Few sellers invest the time, love and money we do in the preparation of our gear, and this is reflected our prices.”
