I know it is priced high but I am a huge Ace-tone fan and don't want to see it go. This is in excellent condition all the way around. If it never sells--I'm fine. But I want you to see it, at least. ( I made this mistake once but here I am again. These are the best sounding early drum machines IMHO)

You can push different combinations of the rhythms so you get a lot of variations. The balance gives you added control from bass to high hat sounds.  When you rock this with a tape echo you are really starting to suck the marrow out of life. Really deep bass drum sounds.

I spent about 5 hours on this. I cleaned all the jacks, pots and switches, put the knobs and hardware in my ultra sonic cleaner then reglued the tolex knob centers back down, polished all the chrome. re-glued some curling tolex, bought a foot switch sperately to include with it. It has a few minor nicks, - (see pics) but for its age, its excellent. Japanese/English manual is a copy of the original.

It's 100v but will work fine in the USA, I recommend a transformer for liability reasons. I carefully pack and ship with insurance and tracking information or you are always welcome to come pick it up at my place in Nagoya. You can even spend a night jamming out on vintage gear and crash in the spare room .
Shipping is Yamato/UPS. Rest of world rate covers most countries. Tariffs and customs duties vary by country and are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of your countries regulations etc.
