EKO ComputeRhythm drum-machine from 1972 (demo 1)
Oh my! That case, the carrying handle, the analogue sound, the punch card feed slot, and those lamps! ♥
Who dares attempt the impossible task of convincing me that this gloriously dusty, tactile, personable machine would be “better” as a cheap and disposable iPad App?
A unique pair of matching pistols from 1820 with amazing mechanical singing birds mounted on the end of their barrels.

Ah, the E-mu Audity.
Only one of these 16 voice monsters was produced in 1979 (for Peter Baumann, ex-Tangerine Dream) and it now resides at the Audity Foundation. It’s short life should not be mourned, though, as some of its technology evolved into the Emulator which began the democratisation of sampling.
More information on this rare, unique and priceless creature can be found at Vintage Synth Explorer and Synth Museum.
Ah, the extremely rare Con Brio ADS 200.
Looks awesome in all its retro-futuristic analogue vs digital design, but I wouldn’t want to have to carry it to a gig - an unlikely situation given that only 3 (!) were ever made, though.
