Roland CR-78

“I can feel it coming in the air tonight. If you always loved the drum machine intro to this Phil Collins hit, this is how you get that iconic sound. Also, think Blondies Heart of Glass.

This beautiful CR-78 has just been fully checked and serviced by a former Roland technician who established Roland’s first service department in Ontario, Canada. It’s now ready to go to a new home.

All push buttons, potentiometers, and sliders were cleaned and lubricated. All move without introducing any noise or static into the signal chain. Input and output jacks were all cleaned and checked. All voices work and sound as they should – analog sexy. The programming section is fully operational and ready for you to program your own rhythms.

As for the condition, the pictures tell the story. The front panel is pristine – no scratches, marks or oxidization. The wood case is also in amazing condition and has the original rubber feet. (The 2 metal identification plates still have the protective plastic film on them!)

This CR-78 is a 220-volt unit. I use a step-up transformer for use on 110 volts (see pics). The step-up transformer will be included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
