The ACOUSTIC Model 500 ‘Keyboard Control Center.’ Never seen this piece before. The original ACOUSTIC amps from the early 70s are really not-terrible solid-state amps. We used one back in high school for the Rhodes and it was pretty excellent.
The Komplete Kustom lineup from their sadder post-Naugahyde era. See this link for a detailed discussion of the earlier, more iconic Kustom pieces.
The Powerhouse Rhythm Unit, an infinite-loop tape cartridge playback system designed to do the work of a drum machine.
The WMS Interphaser, a phase-shift pedal from a small maker.
Nothing too exciting today… just a few odds and ends that caught my eye.

acoustic model 500 keyboard preamplifier
I have one for sell….. $150.00 + shipping
Worked well when I put it on a shelf 25 years ago
I’ve got this. I picked it up from a pawnshop as part of a lot of broken gear. It was blowing fuses because all of one specific type of capacitor (little, black, almost looks like a diode) that goes from the power rails to ground had all shorted over time. Anyways the unit has very nice sounding inductors in the EQ.
