To think this is a 1972 Drum Machine, it does sound incredibly good - great demo, thanks for sharing

These old analog drum machines have such a quality. I have a Roland TR-77 with a broken fade-out slider but otherwise is fully functioning. I love it. Also have a Hammond Autovari-64. The live interaction with these machines is so much fun. :)

I have a couple of these in my collection, unfortunately only one is in working order. Will have to dig out my soldering iron, again.

The Bossa Nova preset was used on the Buggles Astroboy (and the proles on parade).

Sieht ja aus wie neu! Ich mag ja den Sound dieser Klopfgeister, habe aber "nur" eine CR78 zuhause!

[MrSkywalker]

Yep....den Mini popper hier hab ich ja auch schon so einige Zeit und habe ihn in meinem Video "Clouds from Jupiter" zum Einsatz gebracht.Es ist einfach nur erstaunlich das diese Klassiker der Technik nach mehr wie 30 Jahren immer noch so gut rocken wie an ihrem ersten Tag.Das ist eben "analog", gebaut für die Ewigkeit, in der Digitalen Welt heutzutage gibt eher alles viel schneller den Geist auf. :-/

[almthomson]

sounds like Roxy music - Dance Away - nice

[HH-Thorsten]

Schon häufiger gehört. Dachte immer das wäre eine Roland DR-55 gewesen. Aber jetzt so direkt klingt die schon anders.

Reminds of an old medical or lab equipment :-)

[drecksheep]

Tja in diesem Jahr wurden halt die besten Sachen der Welt "gebastelt"...! :-)

I found this one in a thrift shop for about 5 euros many years ago. What is it worth today?

Makes me wanna play Suicide's 1st album.

I was just offered a pair of mint organs, a Gulbransen pacemaker and an Elka. The Gulbransen has one of these attached to it in a draw. The Elka has knobs and switches that say Leslie and vibrato. The guy wants £60 for the pair but I have no room. I thought about getting it for the drum machine and stripping the Leslie out. I have only been sent pics on my phone. I don't know if it's worth it. Is it? Anyone?
