FS: WEIRD ONE > ROLAND TR-909

[mrbeuys]

I know, I know... doesn't really belong here, but I thought before I put it on eBay, I would rather sell her to someone on sz.

Roland TR-909
Legendary drum machine. I have had this one since 1986 and she's just not been getting any use at all.
Everything is fully working. As you can see on the second picture, there's a dent in the back. Was already there when I bought her and I've never had any problems at all.
She's missing 2 of her rubber feet. Please note that this is the European model which needs 220V. Obviously, can easily be converted for use at 110V.

Looking for around $ 3300 which is less than any on eBay.

No, went for an actual bass guitar at the time...

Not so weird, the sound of this machine is timeless - and even it's not the 808, Roland changed music, fashion and arts thanks to these lovely machines ;) - Currently someone's offering a refurbished one for even 5.500,- EUR (!) on eBay. About 20 to 15 years ago i was often thinking about buying a 808, 909 and 303 but because of so many clones popping up and the tendency to work more on a digital level, i was afraid of loosing my money because no one will be interested anymore in buying these machines. I was totally wrong. Totally. Would have been probably one of the best invements ever.

Hope someone will grab yours who's really appreciating that machine!

Best,
chris
