vintage rare drum machine Kay Memory Rhythm Machine (DRM-1) 1980s

it’s basically one of the takes on Boss DR-55, authentically made in Japan. as far as I’m aware - these were sold as diy kits back in 80s, but functionally are identical to Boss DR-55, sound is also the same/almost the same.

please, NOTE, it’s been modified to be powered from … eurorack offset voltage.

power now is on minijack socket. you just take an offset from eurorack system, and plug it in to power the drum machine, directly, using eurorack patch cable. it will take any voltage from approx. 5v up to 12v.

it also has analogue clock output, and cymbal trigger output, so will sync with everything perfectly.

currently it won’t accept any other power sources, but it’s a very mod friendly machine! as mentioned above, they were sold as diy kits at some point, so they beg you for modifications. I believe it even can be modified to fit into eurorack housing, and it shouldn’t be hard.

the unit currently is fully working, but please note about the power mod mentioned above.

also, it’s recommended that if you buy it - you'd better have some basic diy skills and knowledges. it’s sold as seen. it’s in fully working condition although.
