That's a pretty rare one , I'd bet.

 

VG price book lists a MRK-2 Rhythm King made from '71-'74... early drum machine.

 

It may be kind of funky.. and that may be cool... or perhaps not at all . I'd check it out if it were cheap.

 

I've got an old Maestro Sustainer laying around here somewhere.. but it doesn't work anymore, I'd like to get that working just to have some fun.

 

They also made a Theramin at one point , that would be a blast.
