via this auction

"This is the original electronic drum, the Pollard Syndrum 178. It's like the "Altair" of electronic drums in that it started the edrum phenomenon. For collectors, this is as rare as it gets. For music makers, this makes the analog sounds you can only get from the original. The large pedal changes the pitch or range, and the small pedal stops the tone or vibrato. The sound is based on sine, square, or triangle wave shapes. I purchased this in 1978 and played it in clubs during the era. Cosmetically, it is poor, but it works perfectly (including both snare settings), and it includes the pad (new backing behind a perfect head), the pedal, the head removal tool, a stereo 1/4" cable for the pedal, a mono 1/4" cable for the pad. The output is unbalanced 1/4", so you can use any guitar cable. The power supply is not original, but the one I have included is vastly superior and works perfectly (any DC supply between 18V and 25V works). As shown in the photos, there are no fader caps, and three faders stems are broken at the ends, but they are still functional. One side has a piece of the wood chipped off. These are extremely rare, typically sell for much more if they work. At the present, I can find no other complete and functional unit available anywhere."

"シンセファンに捧ぐYO-KAI Disco
たまにはYMO以外もやってみます。YMOファンの方もぜひ聞いてみてください。
機材紹介にCOCOA(東風の動画で使った自作シンセ)を入れ忘れました。シーケンス(Lchのピコピコ)担当です。
機材紹介パートは速読 or 一時停止推奨ですがそもそもたいしたこと書いてないので見逃してもらっても大丈夫です。"

Googlish: "YO-KAI Disco dedicated to synth fans
Sometimes I try other than YMO. If you are a YMO fan, please do not hesitate to ask.
I forgot to include COCOA (the self-made synth used in the Dongfeng video) in the equipment introduction. I am in charge of the sequence (Lch picopico).
The equipment introduction part is recommended for speed reading or pausing, but since it doesn't write much in the first place, it's okay if you miss it."

Some pics of the inside.

"Very rare. Not misused. It stopped working while in use and it was working fine. It has since had a diode replaced by a qualified tech. There is a short on the board. It has not been fully investigated due to time restraints so it's been returned and left as it was. 2 switches are broken/ missing, Pedal and Tune. No slider tips. There is a spare transformer and all of the dismantled parts are present including the wooden end blocks which are in good condition. It's assumed it will work again."

"This is a super rare Syndrum CM drum synthesizer. Serial #2685. Comes with the original Syndrum box and original adapter!
A drum synth with sustain, sweep, tune and volume control.
The Syndrum is in good working condition. A couple of the pots can be just a little bit scratchy sometimes. (nothing major, I'm sure it can be solved with some cleaning if it bothers you)

Cosmetically, there are signs of wear here and there. The mesh has some stains(see photo).
The box itself has wear. ( it is 35 years old...). It still holds the 1980 price tag...
Overall in nice vintage condition."

Electro-Harmonix 8 Step Program - "Get On The Bus"

Published on Jun 12, 2013 EHX·164 videos

Electro Harmonix 8 Step on eBay - It's less than you might think.

"The EHX 8 Step Program plugs into the expression pedal or CV input of other effects pedals and synthesizers delivering rhythmic sequencer control. With eight independent sliders, each controlling a sequence step, it can turn an ordinary auto-wah into a step filter, a tremolo into a syncopated pulse effect and a pitch-shifter into an arpeggiator.

This eye-popping video, shot less than a mile from EHX headquarters at Carousel Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, provides a peak into the sound sculpting power of the new 8 Step Program!

Vintage SYNDRUM CM MESH HEAD

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"SYNDRUM CM Analog Drum Synthesizer, these were developed by Joe Pollard(a drummer for the Beach Boys and Grass Roots) and Mark Barton back in 1976. This single drum Mesh Head is capable of many different sounds, very popular with many professional drummers of that era. I've owned this drum head back in the late 70's and it's been in storage for about 30+ years, it's time for me to let it go. The SYNDRUM CM was working fine back then so i'm sure it's still working. I would test it but i can't find the power supply / cords so this is being sold without. These are rare, you don't see many of these for sale..."

"Up for sale is a very rare Pollard Syndrum Quad w/ Original Pedal and Drum Pads. The Synthesizer and pads both work great. All channels are working great except the "Snare 1" setting on each channel is inaudible. The "Snare 1" is supposed to be a quieter, shorter snare than "Snare 2." "Snare 2" works great on each channel and is controlled by the sustain slider underneath of it. The Quad is also in great cosmetic condition, with only minor paint chips here and there. See pics for details. The slider caps have all been replaced with Arp-style rubber ones. (the original slider caps fell off a long time ago.) Included in this auction is:
