Found the above searching for a demo after seeing the listing below. This is the first post to feature the Schober Dynabeat.

via this Reverb listing

This appears to be the first one featured on the site. Moby had a Portable Dynabeat you can see in this post (do a find for Schober when you get there).

"Here’s a rare Schober Dynabeat (1968). It’s a vintage, transistor-based electronic drum machine designed as a DIY kit to accompany Schober organs. It produced percussion sounds (bass drum, tom-tom, cymbals, bongos) using phase-shift oscillators, allowing players to trigger sounds via small pads or by connecting it to the organ’s lower keyboard and pedals."
