Om 200m Appraisal

Suzuki Omnichord OM-200M

The item is a Suzuki Omnichord, model OM-200M, housed within its original, molded grey plastic carrying case. The Omnichord itself is a flat, off-white, guitar-pick-shaped electronic instrument, primarily constructed from plastic. The top surface features a large 'OMNICHORD' logo in black sans-serif font. To the left, there is a control panel with various grey and red buttons, including what appear to be volume knobs and mode selectors. A prominent red rectangular button is visible, likely a power or record function. In the center, there is a grid of square, flat tactile buttons, likely for playing chords and notes. To the right, there's a textured, ribbed area which might be a 'SonicStrings' touch plate, a signature feature of Omnichords for strumming. The instrument shows good overall condition, with no visible cracks or major scratches on the plastic casing. However, the surface of the instrument appears slightly dusty in some areas, indicating general use or storage. The gray plastic carrying case is specifically molded to fit the instrument and shows some scuff marks consistent with its age and intended use for portability. Small rectangular depressions or compartments in the case suggest space for accessories like power adapters or cables. The case features a handle integrated into its design for easy transport. This model, the OM-200M, suggests it's a later iteration of the Omnichord series, likely dating from the late 1980s to early 1990s, indicating a blend of earlier analogue synth sounds with newer digital capabilities. The clean lines and robust plastic construction signify typical consumer electronics manufacturing of that era.
