Seeking a few vintage synth pics

Post by maxm » Sun Feb 16, 2014 12:33 am

Hi all!
I am putting a book together that features some great vintage gear, including synths.

But I don't currently own any, and so am looking for pics of the following:

Arp Odyssey
Prophet 5
Taurus Pedals
Minimoog
Oberheim OB-1, 8-voice, and OBx
PPG Wave
Emulator II and III

Please message me privately for details.
Unfortunately, I am on a very tight schedule. Had some pics but turned out my source did not have permission, so you MUST own the rights to them.

Thanks!
Max Mobley

Have you considered emailing the originators and estates of those instruments. Dave Smith, Oberhiem and the Fairlight guys are still around. Perhaps they have official promo shots they's send to you and let you publish ?

Hi guys. I managed to get what I needed. and thanks for the call out on reaching out to the pioneers of this great gear, and the common license thing from Wiki. Actually did not know that was an option! Had some success there, and some folks here also helped me get what I needed.

You guys are awesome.

Mm
