Kees Theremin for sale

I have a Kees Theremin I'm putting up for sale. I'll be making an ebay auction for it soon but just thought to give the folks here a heads up.

I'm not looking for one, but which version is it? There were three.

I would like to buy one... it's a question of pricing...

Sorry for the late reply.

Really there were 3 versions?

How do I know which I have?

The ebay auction is here:

No shipping to Europe? Is that racism? ;-)

Or must I ask one of my Canadian friends to buy it for me and to send it to me as a birthday gift?

I guess most of Europe is possible.. I just have to be careful on ebay because some countries are notorious for scammers.

I'll bring the box down to the post office soon and try to get some more exact shipping prices.

I was talking about the good old civilized Europe, not about Eastern Europe or the Balkans...

yes, France is fine with me and really anyone that would be here on this site is fine no matter where they are in the world.

Thank you. I added it to my watch list.

I'm not sure what the difference between the MK-II and MK-III are, but I'm guessing your is a MK-III. He stopped selling theremins before I knew there was a third version.

Kees' original photos of the MK-II (http://s776.photobucket.com/albums/yy42/anatak/Kees%20MK-II/) do not show the extra knob on the back side. I don't remember any more, but I think it is for coarse tuning.

Besides Kees Enkelaar, Uncle Howie (Howard Mossman) is the only one who knows what the improvements were. He was assisting Kees with the improvements.

The MK-I (http://s776.photobucket.com/albums/yy42/anatak/Kees%20MK-I/) had a cigar-box shaped hinged cabinet and a telescoping pitch antenna. It had only pitch and volume controls in addition to a continuously adjustable timbre control. All of the controls had a small tuning range and were extremely sensitive.

The MK-II introduced fixed-length pitch antenna and a change in cabinet design; a longer, narrower box. A "gain" control, power switch and LED was added, and the timbre was changed to a two-position selector switch. All of the controls were smoother and more user-friendly. I'm not sure when the knob on the back came into the picture.

Here is a picture of the "saw" waveform (http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy42/anatak/Kees%20Waveform/Waveform.jpg) from the MK-II.
