    Description

    An amazing icon of the disco era, this 1978 synthesizer from the BeeGees has three thumping beats: Disco, Latin and Pop, as well as a Tempo feature that speeds up and slows down the beats. Two knobs control volume and modulation (changing the actual note played by a key). A fold-out base lets it sit at an angle for better sound quality, since the speaker is on the bottom.
    Despite being stored in my closet for decades, when I put in a fresh 9 volt battery -- WOW! It works great.
    I recorded a demo of this exact machine that you can see on Y
    outube by adding /shorts/n0mdyb5jTZQ to the URL. (I couldn't figure out how to add video directly to a listing.)
    Very good, working condition. No battery compartment door.
    So much fun.
