Discovery Of Rare Maplin 5600S Synthesizer In A London House Clearance

May 10, 2013 By Avery Associates

Amazing Electronic Musical Instrument In Chelsea House Clearance

The discovery was made during a regular house clearance in a quiet area of Chelsea, the extremely rare and fully working Maplin 5600S Synthesizer was tucked away under the stairs behind clutter and cleaning materials in this small terraced home and is believed to be worth in excess of £3500. It wasn’t until i arrived back at our warehouse in Tooting that i opened the case to expose the fantastic Maplin Synthesizer. I soon called a friend down to the warehouse who specializes in electronics who was able to connect it up and get it working. The synthesizer makes thousands of different combinations of electronic musical tones. It can be seen working on youtube by following this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIgsWzXyCmo

About The Maplin 5600S Synthesizer

Maplin 5600s stereo synthesizer. It’s a very rare vintage matrix synthesizer, rich in parameters … much more than an EMS VCS3. This isn’t a typical example, either. Unlike most, the construction and wiring quality is absolutely professional, so it comes in perfect working condition, serviced and tested recently. The original service manual is included…. very unique cover! The Matrix has 30 x 30 contact points (900 in total) for complex I/O and control voltages. It has a built in spring reverb and an amazing cv controlled phaser. Many features: 4x VCO’s, 1x LFO, noise and Sample & hold, 3x audio Mixers, 2x CV controlled mixers, 2x Transient envelopes (that you can use as sequencer with hold delays & portamento, amazing!) 1x Trapezoid envelope, 2x 24db filters, 2x VCA, 2x Ring modulators, Spring Reverberation, amazing Phaser, 2x Audio in modules, Pan controls, Joystick and more. The keyboard is 5 octaves and there are 2x cv controls and gate (2x trig inputs, switchable from the audio in modules) retrigger, echo send / return, foot pedal & switch connections. Working voltage: 220 / 240 volts

Our House Clearance Services

We provide a full house clearance and property management solution:

  • We clear hoarded houses, regardless how big or how cluttered
  • We clear all types and sizes of property, irrespective of location, or access is restricted or where parking is difficult or not available.
  • We can help avoid water damage by draining the central heating system.
  • We can secure the property and change the locks.
  • We can reinstate the gardens and maintain them whilst the property is empty.
  • We can provide 24 hour security to eliminate the risk of squatting or unlawful occupation.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
