You are bidding on a vintage Arp AXXE analog synthesizer.  Made famous by musicians like, Pete Townsend, Herbie Hancock, etc.; this is one of the original, early production, Arp Axxe analog synthesizers (#72).  These are very rare and extremely hard to come by; a true collector's piece. Three versions of the Axxe were manufactured during the 1970's, with the final two versions containing orange silkscreening and a slightly modified casing.  The difference in these later versions was primarily the mounting of the keyboard. The earliest units of the original version lacked Arp's innovative "Proportional Pitch Control" pad, but they featured a copyright infringing version of a Moog filter that was later discontinued. This example (#72) is an earlier version that has been recently serviced with no alterations by a professional music repair provider and is in excellent working condition with all functioning parts, less two slider caps [location of VCA GAIN, S/H sliders (see photos; cosmetic, does not affect operation)].
