this was also discussed at the AnalogueHeaven mailinglist, I compiled my
contributions:
I dont understand why one should bid for it. The german branch of EMS,
Ludwig Rehberg, lists a new one for 55.000 euro
http://www.emsrehberg.de/Pricelist/pricelist.html
but I don't know how long it takes to get one...
Rehberg was so convinced of the EMS Synthis that he was first a importer
for Germany and later a collaborator with them. Remember those were the
days where you can't get a synth everythere in the mall. When I remember
right he was responsible for the Synthi E (the educational one for
schools) the videosynthesizer and now the vstplugin but I might be
wrong. He is also soundconsultant and worked with some people of the
studiobiz. I took a course on electroacoustic music at the musicschool
Lueneburg lead by H.W.Erdmann back in 1986 where I got first time hands
on Minimoog and EMS AKS synths and met Rehberg too. In that time the
Hochschule Fuer Musik und Theater Hamburg, which is nearby, had a Synthi
100 system but being rather conservative they didn't used it that much
so now it is in Lueneburg too.
Some years ago where I had some cash I emailed Rehberg about the
possibility to purchase a Synthi A and he answerd rather quick that they
indeed are available. The website has never changed, like the EMS UK
one, but I guess its still valid. As a service you can borrow equipment
from EMS too, although not the 100 I guess :)
This picture shows the 100 that is now in small town Lueneburg

Here is the history of another famous of the first importers of synths
in germany (but only in german), Synthesizer Studio Bonn Matten +
Wiechers, who are credited on nearly every Kraftwerk CD and responsible
for the Synthanorma sequencer and Banana synth, an Oberheim clone.

BTW: this is Ludwig

Stockhausen used the 100 in cologne on some pieces but it is reported he
was pretty unimpressed by the filters.
Cheers,
