What is 16 year old UE doing ?
looks like hes synthing to me.
Hmm messing with electronics.
Converting it to ipod operation?
he was a pirate radio operator no wonder that the fcc has that on yellow status all these years way to go ed
is the other kid rimmer ?
Telephone operator?
i still think it involves waveforms and ocillators.
maybe envelopes and filters but for sure sinewaves and such.
Trying to contact Cuba on that contraption.

sorry i blew your cover.
i believe its a eml i could be wrong but judging from the cabinet its kinda what it looks like.
prolly worth a few grand today if it still exists.
that was from the era when synths were completely in thier infancy still. lovely piece of gear there.
back then wendy carlos was known as walter carlos.
the one responsible for switched on bach wich was programmed using a patchcord synth. great picture.
think i could nab it perhaps for some use on a album cover at some point.
cheers.
hmmm my guess is you were a smart kid in a enriched schooling program and you were working on some kind of music/science project.
it looks like there is a record lathe besides it. nice school.
here we got to play with knives.
Excellent billpc55....
Similar unit from google search.
i love those synths. they are just so primitive but so cool. they force you to really work and that is a good thing.
now you guys look like a some indie record cover art.
hahah

i think thats a 101 or a 200 not totally sure close to the one in the picture.
the one in the picture is really rare i am pretty sure they mostly went to schools in the begining.
i used two of these to process drum loops and then resample them. they are really odd sounding synths i love patch cord synths. i dont get to play with them too often but they can be very inspiring due to their limitations. i find the best way to use them is for processing outside sounds for the most part. they are so cool.
ue is my cousin
billpc55 was right on the money....good observation skills.
In 1970 my high school band teacher applied for and rec'd a grant to teach a summer class in the cutting edge area of electronic music.
Yours truly and another student a year older than me were hired as assistants to help Mr. Readyoff (yes, really his name) lead a group of younger students through a course where we would all learn about this stuff.
The idea was to compose "electronic music".
We used The Electro Comp to make and modify sounds, electronic white noise and basic synth stuff plus modify 'man made' sounds like a waste can spinning on its rim, or a toilet flushing, fingernails on chalkboard, lone footsteps in a school hallway, or whatever they could come up with. We would use reel to reel machines after cutting and splicing the sound into "loops" and play them on the machines, upsidedown, and record "sound-on-sound" and "sound-with-sound" on to other reel to reel decks to create the "Compositions"
Funny to think this was high tech cutting edge at the time.
Dig That Watch.....
Cool pictures, Ed! You were messing around with an Electro Comp when I wasn't even one year old.

i see you cats are rocking the reel to reels delia derbyshire style.
i am pretty sure if i would have been in that class i could have showed them all.
it is amazing how many electronic instruments have been forgotten about throughout the years.
