Jen SX-2000 analog mono synth

via this auction

"Extremely rare Jen SX-2000 analog mono synthesizer. Built in Italy around 1980, appears to be inspired by the early Japanese synths with a preset section and a manual section. Extremely resonant and wet filter, somewhere between a Korg 770 and Roland SH series low pass filter. I sought this synthesizer out because I had played one in a pawn shop about 5 years ago and was struck by the fact that it had the thickest and richest square wave bass I had ever heard. This is not hyperbole, everyone who plays this synth agrees it has the deepest bottom end they have heard."

Update via Flemming in the comments: "This synthesizer was also build into one of JEN's organs called the CAROUSEL C-450. I have seen it a couple of times and I actually considered buying the organ just to get the synthesizer (the organ itself is rather boring). But they weigh a ton and are too big to get into my car.
