Roland TR-808 classic analog drum machine

via this auction

"The machine is a euro voltage version, but a converter for US voltages is included!

The machine has new ALPS buttons, so there isn't any sticky or double triggering problems, they were installed on the original 808 PCB, not a clone. The button caps are also new, so they look spectacular.

Everything works perfectly, no static when turning the knobs. All of the knobs have the original colored caps as well, there is some slight chipping around the knob caps, very common, but not too noticeable"

This is an old Princeton Applied Research Lock-In Amplifier. It was used for phase detection and noise cancellation, but here there is no input. Instead, it is being used as a tuned noise source and filter. A great tool for musique concrète or meditative drone sounds."

This is my modified Yamaha RX-17 I call the Crush and Bang. The Yamaha has been augmented with a 20 point patch bay (green and black banana jacks) as well as 5 patchable toggle switches, 2 patchable momentary pushbuttons, and two patchable potentiometers, 1K ohm and 100 ohm. This is its distrotion sounds, but it is capable of a huge variety of sounds."

Side Note: I'm finding that I'm not using the soft synth label on these. I don't use them for hardware VA synths, only PC software. When I see and play the iElectribe it feels like hardware.
