"Everything is hardwired: start/stop foot pedal, output cable (with 1/4" mono jack) and power cord. It has a little compartment in the back where you can stuff all the cables and pedal for carrying around with handle on top. The unit is front-heavy and has rubber feet on the back. So, I guess it was supposed to be laid flat on the back or mounted to a stand with a screw since there's a female screw socket on the center of the back. You can tweak the sounds with the trim pots inside including making the bass drum sound self-oscillate like a Roland TR-808."

"Historic, simple, preset vintage drum machine. Works good. It's made for USA/Canada voltage (~115V 60Hz) and two-prong power plug. See video of actual item for sale.
