via this auction

"This is a 1969 Maestro Model MRK-2 'Rhythm King' Rhythm Machine. Made in USA by Gibson Inc, Lincolnwood, Ill. USA. Serial #15314.

Features and Problems: 18 Pre-programmed 'Rhythms'. (7) Latin, (8) American and (3) Traditional. Controls for: 'Volume', 'Balance' and 'Speed/Metronome'. Lighted On/Off rocker switch. Eight additional 'momentary' black switches for: 'Bass Drum', 'Snare Drum', 'Hi-Hat Cymbal', 'Cymbal', 'Tom Tom', 'Bongo', 'Blocks' and 'Clave'. This unit was tested by our electronics tech and he said it all worked except for the 'Bongos', 'Blocks' and 'Clave' switches which are non-functional and do not work. All control switches were cleaned. All other switches and rhythms/controls work fine. Exterior wood case covering has much wear (see photo). The AC cord, 1/4" cable and Footswitch all work and are stored in the compartment on the back."
