This is a fully serviced 1982 Oberheim DX drum machine in excellent working condition. Everything has been gone through from top to bottom, deep cleaned inside and out, buttons removed and contacts cleaned properly, and the plastic side panels replaced with the beautiful Electrongate wooden panels.
On top of the full service, this unit has been upgraded with the Electrongate MIDI board and RAM board, meaning you get MIDI in and out, and you will never need to replace a battery again. Your patterns are safe.
What was done:
-Full deep clean inside and out
-Button contacts cleaned and restored
-Plastic panels replaced with Electrongate wooden panels
-Electrongate MIDI board installed (MIDI in & out)
-Electrongate RAM board installed (no battery needed)
-Tested and fully working
As expected from a 40-year-old piece of gear, there are some signs of normal wear. Nothing that affects functionality in any way, this machine works exactly as it should and sounds incredible.
This is the little brother of the DMX and one of the most characterful analog drum machines ever made. Warm, punchy, and instantly recognizable. You can hear exactly how this unit sounds in my restoration and live jam video; link in my Reverb profile.
Pick up in New York and ships and safely packed. Any questions feel free to ask.
