The PSYCH-TONE in the photos above sold on eBay for $360 in September 2005.
Here is a note I got from someone that shall remain nameless.
Thank you, sir. Your SWTPC site has been a time machine for me (and others, I’m sure).
Going over your SWTPC catalogs, it must have been 1971 when I saw the Psych-Tone – first in a Popular Electronics article and then in their catalog. I had to have it. I could handle a soldering iron – I had to build it! I saved (and begged my father) and ordered the kit. I must have fried a number of components because the thing never produced anything more than static (thank the Gawds it didn’t start smoking). I’m fairly sure it got lost (or trashed) in the course of moving.
