About This Listing

Selling my vintage famous Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer - The Full package!

This 808 is in GREAT CONDITION! It has just a few very minor scratches on the unit. (Both Side Panels are completely scratch free!)

I am attempting to describe all very minor noticeable Issue accurately and best as possible. 

Very small scratch near A&B switch. Very, Very small scratch on face of unit. 

Buttons 2 & 3 seem very very “slightly” moved, not fully aligned with the other front buttons. 

808 is missing the chrome plated battery cover.

All front panel buttons still respond on “first push/click” no sticky button/static issues.

The Main Volume Nob does produce light static when adjusting the volume, but the static stops when volume is set.

This TR-808 just sounds great! Every Tone sounds so perfect and definitely has that great Roland analog sound and tone:)

This TR-808 Unit is Fully Functional - no issues are found and none to report!!

Including VERY RARE Original TR-808 box (with original 808 foam inserts) from Japan. FYI: The TR-808 Box was purchased separately from Japan at a later date, this is not the original TR-808 box that came with the TR-808, it is marked with Japanese voltage on box (This TR-808 box is still VERY RARE)!

The TR-808 box does show some slight wear but in great shape considering its 40 years of age!

Also Including very nice extras:TR-808 Operation Manuals, Pattern Guides, Very Rare Roland Rhythm Brochure, and a custom TR808 leather cover. 

*Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing to guarantee a smooth sale for both seller and buyer, I will be glad to assist with any questions or concerns.

Thank you 
Dean from Florida, US

Product Overview
With its warm toned strip of colorful sequencing buttons and tweakable banks of knobs, the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer is quite possibly the most iconic drum machine of all time. Featuring a booming kick, sharp snare, tunable toms and a variety of percussion elements, the 808 is capable of creating and sequencing complete rhythm tracks. While Roland's initial hopes to create a realistic machine for emulating session drummers were dashed, generations of artists and producers have embraced and repurposed the 808's unique electronic tones, birthing entire genres based around its inimitable sounds.
