Oberheim DMX vintage drum machine w/ factory midi

via this auction

"Oberheim DMX with midi up for grabs. It is in excellent condition and has the original "MIDI" plate on it from Oberheim."

Anyone know if the MIDI label next to DMX is a sticker or painted on? Curious what they would have done in factory.

Update via Nathan: "I have one of these Factory MIDI DMX's
To answer your question - the MIDI badge is actually aluminium!

Here are some pics of the inside. [below after the hop]

"This is a demonstration of the Soviet Polivoks Analog Synthesizer.

Ever so often I'll get a comment or email about how I refer to it as "built like a tank".

It was a bad choice of words - I simply meant that it looks like a piece of military equipment. Physically, it's no more solid than an Arp Odyssey."
