"Logan String Melody II by Ing. Giuliano Costantini. Amazing analogue string machine. It seems that the old owner couldn't stop playing it, so it has some wear around the case, but is still perfectly working, despite the 45 years of age. It was sold under both the Logan brand name and re-badged as both a Hohner and Vox product. The Vox version was called The String Thing but still featured the Logan brand name on the back of the case."

Yamaha DD-10 Vintage Drum Machine (Japan,1988) SN 014712

via this auction

You can find demos of the DD10 including some X1L3 circuit bent models in previous posts here.

"The Yamaha DD-10 is a great stereo digital drum machine with 8 touch sensitive drum pads, 98 preset rhythms played on some 26 or so drums. It comes with one demo pattern and the ability to store 2 user patterns.

It responds to MIDI and the channel for MIDI can be set. It runs on 9-12 volts and can be powered by C batteries (power supply or batteries not included!). We recommend using it with batteries because all compatible power supplies are always a bit noisy.

• TEMPO: The Tempo can be generated from a manual entry system where you merely tap a button and the unit plays at the tempo you are hitting the button.

• PADS: The pads are assignable from the kits available. All the pads can sound at the same time. The green purple and white buttons choose from the 3 sets of instruments available for each pad!

• MIDI: The Channel for the DD10 can be set by pressing the MIDI MODE button and the numeric buttons for the channel. Entering 00 means the DD10 will respond to each drum note sent to it individually - entering 99 means it will respond to a MIDI clock signal and program numbers will change which rhythm is playing. MIDI channel response is good and ability to swap to note mode or clock mode makes it easy to configure to any setup!

• RHYTHMS: The rhythms cover all the usual patterns. There are 100 patterns, two of which (98 and 99) are user programmable by using the pads! There is also a built in metronome.

• USER PATTERNS: The user patterns are selected using number 98 and 99 for the rhythm number and can be overdubbed as the sequence loops."

Elgam Match 15 C (1971) vintage analog drum machine! The First Elgam Rhythm Box!

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

via this auction

"Extremely rare analog drum machine Elgam Match 15 C! This gorgeous analog rhythm box - made in Italy in 1971 – is the first electronic drum machine produced by Elgam, the italian brand that also invented the legendary Elgam Carousel in the same years! This gem is the same rhythm section that was then assembled on the Elgam Carousel! Extremely rare and highly collectable! It’s born in 1971, so this year this little gem turns 50 years old! The item is fully working and in very good cosmetical conditions for its age: the drum machine sounds great and works perfectly! The rhythms are mixable and very cool. It has a characteristic fat warm sound especially with a nice tape delay and reverb added. The tempo slows things right down and you can get some unintential sounds out of this piece of kit. For example, you could use it running through distortion pedals to get some interesting riff style sounds! On YouTube you can find a video of the smallest model of the same serie: the Elgam Match 7C!" [demos in previous posts here]

"This thing doesn't have a speck or smudge on it. Super solid metal construction, and sturdy rubber feet. The knobs turn evenly and the synth responds great, especially the filter! The NF-1M has the same features as the larger NF-1, just in a smaller format."
