Drum Machine Donca Matic DE-20

(Historic Drum machine anno 1966, Korg/Keio)

On one of the first drum machines, the analogue Donca Matic DE-20, I recommend reading the articles available online.
For years, there have been no available units of this series on the market. Korg today exhibits examples in its in-house museum in Tokyo.
The DE-20 shall be sold from a smoke-free private studio to collectors, bands, or museums. It presumably comes from the estate of the legendary Musicland Studio in Munich, though this cannot be reliably confirmed. Here in the studio, it was used for demo recordings and once in a music performance in Schwabing in the early 2000s. The DE-20 was generally intended to replace the drummer in small bands or musician duos.
Shipping is not primarily preferred, but in exceptional cases, with a professional ligistics company (insured). The demise of this rarity would be irresponsible.
It is possible to view and listen to the device on-site if seriously interested.
