There may be some Buchla in there for all I know, but I am sure there 
is at least some ARP 2600.  Zoetrope Studios owned two very heavily-
modified 2600s during that era.  I found this out after buying a used 
2600 from a guy in NJ who casually mentioned after the sale that it 
had been owned by something called Zoetrope, he didn't realize who 
that was.  So I contacted Zoetrope to chase down the history of the 
machine only to find it was the one loaned to George Lucas and used 
for the voice of R2D2 in the first Star Wars.  They confirmed it was 
also used in the excellent film The Conversation and in Apocalypse 
Now.

So I can say I have R2D2 sitting in my home studio.
