Vintage 60s 70s Beatnik Stylophone w/ Original Box

In case anyone was wondering if beatniks used stylophones, apparently the Beatnik movement ended in the mid 60s and the Stylophone was invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis, and entered production in 1968. Maybe Brian was a beatnik. :)
According to wikipedia: "Elements of the beatnik trope included pseudo-intellectualism, drug use, and a cartoonish depiction of real-life people along with the spiritual quest of Jack Kerouac's autobiographical fiction."
The box art?

Aside from this still existing, another interesting thing is the "A" and "B" indicating each side of the tape is hand written. Curious if it was done during manufacturing or if the owner did it later. As you can see on the back of the case, there are three banks. If you've ever used a tape for data backup on a synth, you'll know they don't take up much time, so it is possible all three banks were on one or both sides.
"The tape has been tested and plays well with no faults. It has not been tested on a DX9 synthesizer."

"This was available in kit form in the mid 1970's
Itis completely assembled and for the most part works.
The only issue I can report is the VCF appears to have limited functionality.
The resistive element is intact and it does work.
Requires two 9 volt batteris to operate.
Unit is in very good condition."

Nice shot of the CEM3CEM3379 24 dB/oct. VCF, VCA, VC pan 379 chips on the inside further below.
"It comes with rack ears, 4 cartridges, manuals, a bunch of cool preset sheets, and original box. One thing worth noting is that cartridge 2 and 3 are full of great useable sounds and drum kits while cartridge 1 and X have been erased. It also responds to aftertouch which is great. This is what you want if you don't have the space for a big heavy keyboard."

The Bit 01 is an analog six-voice polyphonic MIDI module. It has MIDI-in only, so there's no saving patches by MIDI - only to the Tape interface (which I haven't tested). There are 99 memory locations - 75 for basic patches - 24 for saving splits & doubles. It has selectable stereo audio outputs for those split & double modes (3 voices per channel).
I don't have the proper owner's manual, only a scan of the Bit 99 manual (the same engine with a keyboard) which you'll get in a nice binder! The 01 lacks the "program advance" pedal input (for program chaining) and headphone jack that the 99 has. It does have the release pedal input. The MIDI input works fine, including program change. The sound is clean from both channels."
