Vintage '76 Univox JR5 Drum Machine

via this auction
"Vintage Univox JR5 Drum Machine, Beatbox-1976! Hey, Depeche Mode used one just like this! This is a classic of electronic music and a rare find. The Univox JR5 was introduced in the 70s and is one of the originals (they later became Korg and this was also the Korg Pee Wee later on). I don't have an old speaker jack which is what this requires so I can'r hear it, but the light does flash to the downbeat as was advertised.

"Has push buttons in black & red depending upon which beat you choose Beats or tempos are as follows: Ballad/Waltz; Cha Cha/ Mambo; Latin Beat/ Bossanova; Rock 1/Rock 2; Polka/Foxtrot" I believe there are 17 separate beats when settings used in combination."
