The restorer's note

The robot voice, from the company that already owned the mathematics of speech. Salo built it for secure comms; musicians would have loved it, had they ever been let near one. Serial 0088 — an early, low-numbered unit, restored with its bands untouched.

Restored 2025 from 1996 hardware.
