'The Chamberlin is an early tape playback unit, with a separate tape and tape head for each note on the keyboard, a predecessor to the famous Mellotron - but this one is special - it's got MIDI.'

Ridiculouisly long tape loops on that bastard. Check out the video link, for want of a better phrase, thats some ill shit!.  ;)

That is very possibly one of the best things i've ever seen.  ;D

Those demo mp3's are incredible, especially seeing as that beast was originally built in 1938.And a lovely bit of furnature as an added bonus.

Where can i get one of those?
