"For sale is this vintage 1970s Chamberlin M-1R electro-mechanical keyboard. The M-1R, or M-1 Remote, is perhaps the rarest Chambelrin model with only six known to have ever been produced. Since then, several have been hacked, one was destroyed in a fire, and only 2 others are known to be in working functional condition, both of which are owned by the same collector. Of the six made, this is the only one with a matching original keyboard controller. Even though the Chamberlin M-1R is beyond scarce, The Beach Boys used one live for a short period. This particular example, serial number 81304 (indicating the 4th unit in the production) is in 100% all original functional condition. Original tape sounds include; Sound Effects(chains, animal noises, etc)/Female Voice, Mandolin/ Pizzicato Strings, Trumpet, Vibes, Tibia, Organ, Strings (violin), Trombone, Acoustic Guitar."
