RARE VINTAGE Chamberlin rhythmate....for sale!

CHAMBERLIN RHYTHMATE Drum Machine Synth Sampler-RARE
DESCRIPTION:
Rare, vintage drum machine.
Chamberlin Rhythmate model 20. Serial #4151. 14 tape loops, each loop with 3 different prerecorded drum tracks on it. Volume and tempo controls. Power indicator light. Single RCA jack on back. New 9 volt battery and 1 amp fuse included. (Note that this model does not have an internal speaker. Use an RCA to 1/4" plug to play through your guitar amplifier.)

Plywood cabinet finished with wood grain plastic laminate (formica). Painted aluminum face plate. There is a large steel bracket mounted on bottom bearing the Chamberlin manufacturer's plate (this bracket hugs the edge of my kitchen counter nicely, but presumably also functions as a means to hang the unit vertically, face plate up).

Circa mid 1970s (assuming the wiki article below is accurate), but the technology definitely belongs to the 1950s-60s. USA.

According to the wiki article below, fewer than 700 Chamberlins (comprising all models) were made 1951-1981, with fewer than 50 working examples accounted for today.

Here is a good demo video of a similar unit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpBx2dDDkEQ

Any advice on blocking the motor or otherwise securing the mechanism for shipping is welcome.
CONDITION:

COSMETIC CONDITION:
When I purchased this Rhythmate the fuse holder cap was absent. I was unable to locate a satisfactory replacement cap so I had a new Radio Shack fuse holder professionally installed. The replacement fuse holder is not markedly different in appearance compared with the original (see various photos of other examples in the links above) and did not require any modification of the face plate.

Otherwise the unit is all original and in generally excellent cosmetic condition. No other replaced, non original or missing parts. No other restorations/modifications/alterations. No signs of abuse.

No chips, cracks, dings, dents, corrosion, significant scratches.
All lettering is intact/legible.
Light, use-related wear, including superficial rubs and scratches to the face plate and scattered, minute edge-nicks to the formica. Nothing significant / conspicuous.

FUNCTION:
Note: my experience with Chamberlin Rhythmates is limited to this unit.
The unit appears to be fully functional. I was able to play all 42 tracks without difficulty. Levers move easily with no issues. Power indicator lamp works.

As with all vintage mechanical/electro mechanical items I would advise having the unit professionally cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. There is no evidence this unit has ever been serviced. I suspect this device has been sitting unused for some time.

RARE RARE RARE...and for sale!

The Synare 2:
This was Star's flagship model., with one oscillator with sawtooth, and pulse waveforms,
white noise generator, etc.
But this had assignable functions, ie. routing the LFO to control certain parameters at once.
The LFO also added a sawtooth waveform) You could also select a wide range of octaves for the pitch to sound at, along with a fine tune function.
A major adjustment was the introduction of a fairly advanced sequencer with different patters, and the ability to change patterns and octaves. You could also adjust the speed and the note(s) sounded by the sequencer.
Plus, it had 16 pads instead of just four.
Retail price in 1976 was $1,395.00.
Made roughly from 1976-1982
Extremely rare.
Power light turns on. further testing was not performed, due to lack of
necessary components

Dave Smith Instruments today introduced Tempest, a new analog drum machine, at the 2011 NAMM Show. Tempest is a collaboration between Smith and longtime friend and fellow instrument designer Roger Linn. Though they've consulted with each other on past projects, Tempest marks the first time a product will carry both the Dave Smith Instruments and Roger Linn Design logos. "If you're going to make a drum machine, who better to have in your corner than Roger Linn?" said Smith, referring to Linn's legacy as inventor of the digital drum machine.
