It's an optical organ ... or a chord organ from the 1970s.
It was sold by Mattel.
Very lo-fi, but I like it.
Used optical discs to sample prerecorded music.
This reminds me of the Soviet ANS synthesizer

Cool samples
Other synths on the same lines that uses optical discs are the Panoptigon from Quilter Labs.

and
The Vako Orchestron
Kraftwerk made heavy use of the Orchestron on their albums Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977) and The Man-Machine (1978).
There were only about 70 to 100 Orchestron's made
