“1973 EMS VCS3 Mk2 including original manuals and power lead.

Build date of synth confirmed by Robin Wood at EMS.

It’s in good condition for a 45 year old synth and works perfectly.

The synth is original with no modifications.

As you can see from the pictures, one of the coloured disc caps is missing and some of the print has worn away.
There are 3 small holes around Oscillator 1 that were already there when I purchased the unit and some edges on the face plate look uneven.

All of the above mentioned, cosmetic imperfections, can be replaced by Robin Wood at EMS.

Purchased many years ago in Birmingham from a Guy who also owned a Synth 100.”
