The other day I found this picture. I don't remember the fellow's name nor what model Arp it was. I thought maybe people in this group might be able to ID them.
Here's the background of the picture:
Around 1973 or 1974 while attending college in Boston I somehow got wind of a guy writing the operation manual for an Arp synthesizer. I was taking a photojournalism class and was very interested in synths. I met him and took his picture for class. It was taken in an old brownstone in Boston.

The synth is an ARP2600 (can't tell the vintage). It's possible that the fellow is James Michmerhuizen, he wrote the 2600 manual.

I think you're right. Thanks for the tip. I Googled the name and have sent him a copy of the pic and a note. I just wanted to thank him after all these years. He was very kind, and as a kid interested in Emusic, meeting and talking to him was quite a thrill. I was in awe of the Arp, but I can't remember if I got a chance to play on it or not.

What's on top of the 2600? Looks like some kind of expander. Oh, its a another 2600.

Nice story.

When I was 11 or so, I saw John Shykin (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) standing in the middle of our local appliance store making strange noises on an Odyssey. Very unusual considering I lived in a small dairy town in the middle of nowhere and in a country at the southern extremes of the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks 7/4. It is James Michmerhuizen. He has emailed and confirmed. Amazing, this internet.
