The other day I was in a museum of old Soviet electronic equipment used in the Soviet nuclear testing programme from the '40's to '70's. As a DIY analog synth guy, I was really inspired by the hardcore switchage and knobage.
I took a bunch of snaps in the hope of someday using this as a guide for the panels of my own synth designs. I hope that others are similarly inspired!
These were hand-made one at a time. Some instruments were so specialized that only a few were made. The craftsmanship is superb.

link this has always given me a nerd boner. a friend told me that polivoks were made by hand out of old soviet tank switches and shit.
i could never really verify, but we did look at ordering one and it was over 50lbs to ship... really excellent shots of neat equipment (for killing people).
I LOVE Jexus' videos. All are great.
Awesome!
