'The Chroma broke (power supply) in 2005 and in 2006 I gave it to Inner Sound in Portland, OR. I also used it on my CD called 'Listen to the Flowers' released in 2006. I recorded a sound library album for Soundtracks of Boston called 'Hits of the Masters,' mostly classical excerpts, a long time ago. The Chroma was used mostly in the home studio. Some of the boards needed correction and none of them have the nice, green, element protecting coating. It is created from the very first boards made. They have earth-tone colored switch panels which were never manufactured but look great. Both instruments were created in 1981 as prototype units. I own both a Chroma S/N 2103-PT-002 and an Expander S/N none. 'I was an engineering technician for ARP Instruments until the end, then for Rhodes.

There are significantly more model 2103 Chromas in the registry than other models, suggesting that more may have been built and sold for North America than other regions. See David Clarke's observations of differences between models 21 in his ChromaTalk mailing list post All sorts of Values (and follow-up Other 2101/2103 difference) of June 1999.
