Keyboard accessories circa mid 70s

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.

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.
