today I stumbled over this amazing web page: http://www.discretesynthesizers.com/nova/intro.htm - this is one of the most extreme examples of DIY synth repair/restauration I've ever seen! :o

I never heard the name Novachord before, obviously it's the very first subtractive polysynth that was ever built (production started 1938!!!). And the sound of this very unique instrument is just beautiful: http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/HammondNovachord

Best regards,

Weird, i found this on another forum and was just talking about it in the chat today.

Never knew it was the first commercial synthesizer, funny how moog seem to have got all the credit isnt it?

And whats even more striking is that its polyphonic.

Another guy bought one from Marc Doty recently, and is restoring his one too:
