IN THE WEIRDNESS Files! Vintage Drum Machine Theremin!


Last of the Incredibly Funky Devices! This is an extremely rare piece and is the last one available ever. Its a foot or hand controlled analog drum machine from Shin-e Companion (Jax) of Japan circa 1967, with my built in photocell theremin circuit. I also tweaked the sounds for maxim freak-out levels. It has super-funky stylings with it's rainbow control panel, chrome & rubber pedals and faux-wood look. It's extremely clean and in great working and physical condition with the exception of a few scuffs and scratches. "The 4 In The Floor" has very analog sounds and is very fun to play. It has separate volume controls for each sound, a 1/4" output, a speed control for the snare and an on/of switch for the photocell and range knob Now you too can own this funky rarebird - one of 3 in the world dont miss out! Get it only @ chamberofsounds.com

RARE Vintage Dr Bohm Digital Drums...for sale!


Here's some info about this machine from the seller!

As I will leave my country very soon, I have to sell some of my equipments.

Here it is a Digital Drum Machine made by Dr. Bohm. It was in perfect working order until I asked a friend of my to clean it from dust in order to post it on ebay. I do not know what happened, but now I have no sound in the outputs. Everything else seems to work perfect excepting the output sound.

Other issues: there is one button missing (from pattern section) and other 3 buttons (from the same section) that respond only when pressed hard.

Otherwise, it seems to be in working order. The digital display shows the parameters of every button or pad.

Taking into account that there is no sound (may be a minor problem), I am selling it hoping that someone will be able to repair it and to use it to create beautiful music.

For more information, please access this link:

GIBSON MAESTRO RHYTHM QUEEN MRQ-1 for sale


Here's the info about this little rare classic from the seller...

GIBSON MAESTRO RHYTHM QUEEN MRQ-1 Electric Drum Machine Synth Percussion Tempo


This is a very nice vintage MRQ-1 Maestro "Rhythm Queen" drum machine.  It is in perfect working condition, and looks great for its age, only has minor wear on some corners and edges, no rips or tears.  The sound that comes out of this unit is excellent.  Great for playing guitar over.  I particularly like the GO-GO button!  Adjustment between the Balance and Tempo with 8 separate rhythm models, makes this a very versatile machine.  Excellent for studio use, has 1/4" output to amp on back panel, or built-in speaker on side.

KORG KEIO contesa minipops MP7 vintage...for sale!

Listed here is this classic Keio Korg Contessa Mini Pops 7 Automatic Rhythm Instrument.

This rare drum machine made in the early 70's was made by the Keio Electronic Lab in Tokyo Japan. It was made famous by Jean-Michel Jarre on his 1976 "Oxygene" album.

There was a later version of this rhythm machine available labelled Univox SR-95. They were meant to be identical but there were two major differences. On the later version, the "Beguine" pattern was different and the "Rim Shot" was replaced with a "Cowbell". This doesn't sound like much but anyone trying to recreate Jean-Michel Jarre's sound would struggle because both the original Beguine pattern and the rim shot were used extensively by the French master of lazers!

To the unit itself. It's in perfect working order with no issues. Every control is operating exactly as it should and the sound is crisp and clean. All the contacts are clean and there are no scratchy sounds from any of the buttons, sliders or the tempo control.

Cosmetically, this Mini Pops 7 is in excellent condition. It's missing its "Back Door" but that doesn't cause any problems. The chrome carry handle and retaining clip are still present and operational. All in all, this is a fantastic and very collectable Rhythm machine in perfect working order.

SYNDRUM Quad Vintage Analog Custom...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
This listing is for a nice Syndrum Quad with custom wood sides. The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. Included is a really long (I think it's 15 or 20 ft) breakout cable in order to trigger the 4 modules. It was wired into my patchbay so you will just need to add 1/4" connectors to the 4 ends. I had it custom made because the original trigger cable was short and always got tangled.

SOUNDMASTER Stix 305...analogue...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Sound Master Stix ST-305 Analogue Drum machine.
A great little drum machine made in 1981 which was a direct answer to the Roland Trs.

In very good condition.
It has a very strong mellow thump sound to the kick and general all round analogue warmth which can be controlled from the sweep of the hard to soft tone control to bring its presence out, it sounds great.

Sequencer - 16-step sequencer with Fill-in and Variation effects
Patterns - 8 programmable rhythm patterns (six 16-step, two 12-step)
It also has control trigger in and out, one a constant clock pulse and the other programmable via the accent.

The real beauty of the is machine is it has a direct output for every drum sound.
I have only ever used this drum machine with batteries as I never wanted to risk using a power supply or giving it the wrong voltage or impedance, but I’m sure it would work fine with a power adaptor, but as I say it’s a lovely machine and I wasn’t prepared to take that risk and the batteries last for ages anyway, the batteries are used for its memory also.

It does come with its original manual but it’s in German you may be able to find a UK manual on line somewhere.

Please note, personally it took me a bit of time to get my head around it to program, and it has to be programmed to get any sound out of it, but once up and running it is a very unique drum machine and I’m sure there’s not many of these around.

VINTAGE Roland TR700...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
I don't know too much about the history of this machine, but apparently it was one of the first units ever made by Roland. If you're looking for a vintage drum machine that really shows how vintage it is, then this is it. Nothing like this is made these days.

Powers up and plays ok, but there is noise when using the almost antique sliders. Comes with built in speakers and various inputs for start / audio input, etc.
Shipping is from Japan and is insured. Takes about 2 - 3 weeks, sometimes a bit faster.
*Seller is based in Fukuoka, an area of Japan which was unaffected by the recent earthquake and tsunami.
Thanks for looking, and please check out my other items. I live here in Japan, so i can track down most models of Japanese vintage equipment. Please contact me by mail (hard.off@gmail.com) if you would like help with something. cheers - Matt

RARE Vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR8L....for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Vintage Ace Tone Rhthym Ace FR8L 'Rhythym Producer' analogue Drum Machine.
These machines are becoming more and more rare, and this one is in full working order.
'Ace Tone' were founded in 1960 and went on to become a name we all know these days, Roland.
This unit was launched around 1974, and dates from that time.
It's housed in an elegant wooden cabinet, which has a couple of minor scuffs and marks, but for something that's almost 40 years old, and was heavily used in its earlier days, it's done not badly. The only thing 'wrong' with it, is the screws have been removed from the folding music desk! The Music desk is there (as can be seen in the pics) and will need 6 small screws to re-attach it.

We have a sensible reserve on this unit, or you can buy it now!
There is only this one, and once it's sold, it's sold.
As it is such an instrinsically valuable piece of musical history, we would prefer it to be collected, but will courier at cost.

Note, these usually sell for between £130 and £160 and the reserve price reflects this.
If someone uses the 'buy it now' button we will however, include carriage if required.

RARE Simmons CLAP TRAP....for sale!

Heres some info from the seller:

You are bidding on a rare SIMMONS CLAP TRAP hand clap synthesizer with a Diamond Series DS-750 Step Up/Step Down U.S. to U.K voltage transformer.

The Simmons Clap Trap was made in England. This one is in very good cosmetic and working condition. All of the adjustments (volume, humaniser, delay) work perfectly. I haven't tried the foot switch or any of the other triggers so I can't be 100% positive that they work. 3 knobs are missing face plates but that doesn't affect the working of the machine.

The transformer is required to use the Clap Trap in the U.S. It weighs 10 lbs. and will be shipped separately within the U.S. (by a slower and cheaper method) and will not be shipped to foreign bidders.

ROLAND TR707....a classic....for sale!

Heres the info from the ebay seller:

RELISTED DUE TO BUYER CHANGING THEIR MIND - PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT SHIP TO OVERSEAS BUYERS!*
As heard on countless classic Chicago house and acid tracks, the TR 707 is still as distinctive - and fantastic - as when it first appeared over 25 years ago.
Although not revered in the same way as the 808 and 909 rhythm composers, its sounds are instantly recognizable.

Item is in very good condition. There are some very minor cosmetic marks but nothing that affects performance. The LCD matrix screen, faders, buttons and connections are all fully functional. The battery compartment cover is missing (this is common with any of these units these days), but you can still use batteries for memory back-up without any issues. I can't vouch for the condition of the cartridge slot, as I've not used it.

Does not come in original box or user manual (a PDF of which can be found very easily online, anyway), and the PSU is a suitable replacement.

More information on the TR 707, including a video of one in action:
