You can bid on a piece of music history owned by Kraftwerk’s Florian Schneider.

Browsing through the auction is like a trip through a museum. There are iconic drum machines like the Roland TR-606, legendary synths like the Synthi A (mislabeled as an AKS), and rare vocoders, including the Sennheiser VSM-201. There are also pieces of high-end studio equipment, suits, lots of flutes, and... a dentist’s chair? You can place bids online now, but Julien’s will run the auction live on November 19th, starting at 11AM ET.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.
