You really have to have a look in an RC410 at all the gears and geneva wheels linking the tuning switches for that synth. It's a major feat of mechanical complexity and must have been almightily expensive to produce.

The next generation had TTL up/down counters setting data for synthesisers with a pulse generator on the tuning knob. THIS set did it all mechanically.
