via this auction"Vintage ORIGINAL Casio ML-80 "Melody 80" Vintage Electronic Calculator synth: MINT IN BOX, sealed, never used! After the Casio VL-1, this is by far the best Keyboard/Calculator, hands down. Includes a real time sequencer for recording and playback, built in vibrato and 2 full octaves. Fairly loud for its size. The ML-80 also has built in melodies, tempo up/down and one key/auto play functions. A must have for any Calculator or Casio collector.
Also comes with everything as sold in the late '70s: MANUAL, smaller leather case, etc., Stored for 30 years! Insanely rare in this condition. Inside the box , it measures 5.25" x 1" x 4.5""
I remember practically wearing one of these out back in the day. Into the trash it finally went.
ReplyDeletethere it is - the thing that got me started in synths. In middle school, my friend Jon Landaker brought one of these and had a crowd of geeky 7th graders surrounding him, all wanting to play with it.
ReplyDeleteNot much better than a stylophone, but amazing to me then...
Total magic, especially the Square Root function. Really beautiful sound too.
ReplyDeleteIs it still for sale???
