The Ionic Performer came up on AH not too long ago.  Go to
http://www.midiwall.com/archives/ah/ and search away!  The Ionic Performer was the
first synth I ever played.  The school system owned one and I managed to spend a
good bit of time with it.  It was quite a confusing beast and didn't hold its tuning
very well; quite similar to the VCS3!

I've got factory literature and a photo of the Ionic Performer.  I think the 
lit is like a newspaper, and would be a bit hard to scan.  The other stuff is 
probably scanable.
