ARP 2600 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Tonus Logo


via this auction

via the seller:
"You may have noticed several 2600s have sold here on eBay recently. Some refurbished, some not. Now if you look at the pictures, you will see that they have the common ARP "G clef" logo. This tells us that these are the later edition synths. Many more of these were made than the rare earlier TONUS ARPs.

The TONUS logo on the electronics and keyboard units not only tell us that this instrument is one of the earliest made but as a result is made as the ARP engineers originally designed it. The great sound and feel of these ARP 2600 TONUS synthesizers attest to this. From what I have seen, the last TONUS ARP 2600 to be offered on eBay, was a very rare Grey Meanie.

Another thing I have noticed when looking through the mods offered to owners of the ARP 2600, is that most of them attempt to bring the later edition synths back to the original edition TONUS specifications.

Some things you get with the TONUS ARP 2600 are the "coveted" sweet sounding 4012 "Moog" style filter, the accurate and stable 4027-1 oscillators, the original Hammond long pan reverb unit, a truly amazing versatile musical instrument that you will enjoy programming and playing and the envy of all your friends."
