It has the Fairlight digital scanning keyboard modification as well as the inductors in the EQ section replaced by gyrator circuits. It is still a great machine with quite a unique sound.

They had a 4600 in the window, but could never be persuaded to switch it on for me to have a play with it. At the time, I just assumed that they knew I wasn't a serious customer, but now I strongly suspect it was just the front panel on an empty box! Doug, the manager, used to be really helpful and friendly to kids as he recognized a future customer when he saw one. Of course, when he retired and sold up it all changed, and now I buy all my parts from Rapid.
