National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm + Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb


Published on Mar 10, 2015 SubTokyoShop

Here's something you do not see everyday. This is the first post on the site to feature the National SY-50 rhythm drum machine. I'm not sure if National is the model name of the SY-50 or a sub-brand name from Matsushita/Panasonic. If you know feel free to comment. Curious if Moby knows about this one. If you spot it in the video there let me know. I created new channel labels for National & Matsuhita. There are only two previous posts that mention Matsushita.

The following is the video description:

"National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm + Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb

National (Panasonic) SY-50 Automatic Rhythm is very rare rhythm machine produced by Matsushita Electric Co., (Panasonic) in early 1970's. National is a brand name belonging to Matsushita electronics, who are better known outside Japan under another brand name, Panasonic. The "Touch Start" switch is not working (guess no one alive because of the structure), then put the start cable out of the back panel. It start when touching this cable or using foot switch.

Fostex 3180 Spring Reverb is in Excellent Condition."
