Novachord Restoration...

In case you haven’t been following this on Analog Heaven, or one of the many other mailing lists and forums it’s appeared in, Paul Cirocco of CMS just finished his complete restoration of a Novachord, and has fully documented the process.

For those of you not in the know, the Novachord is generally accepted to be the first commercially-available synthesizer. It is tube-based and polyphonic. Check out the MP3s at the bottom of the resto page and prepare to be floored. This thing sounds good. Paul has said he’ll be offering a complete sample CD for sale once he assembles same, so be on the lookout for that.
