Maybe its for the 101 keyboard considering the form factor? 
some of them have a different multipin than others?  Though 
thats just a guess.

Well yeah, if its made by an EML employee, then thats pretty 
obvious its a spare time project... who knows there is a grey 
area, sometimes side projects when finished get pitched to the 
company as a potential product

As for "faked" I didn't meen to fool people but as you probably 
know a lot of people who build a synth studio based around a 
brand will logically have any custom stuff  if possible match their 
studio to look visually integrated. 

Thanks for the info, I was just curious because it didn't  visually 
look much like a prototype, though I didn't doubt its very 
intentional EML styling

the first EML synth, built on contract for the Connecticut State 
college system in 1968 in a quantity of 20. The contract stated 
that had to weigh a minimum of 200 pounds so it couldn't be 
stolen by college students, so they incorporated a cinder block 
inside.
