The Keio* Mini Pops is an iconic and unique-sounding analogue beat box, famously-used by Jean-Michel Jarre on his Oxygene album. They may seem simple, but they just have “that sound” and we have a real soft spot for them and always have one in the studio. Standard preset rhythms can be modified by simultaneously pressing combinations of buttons. The “Quijada” sound is instantly-recognisable and unique to the Mini Pops.
Service work will include replacement of failing capacitors and cleaning of all sliders etc. Note that some sliders may crackle if the unit is left unused but this will clear with a few sweeps of the slider.
MODIFICATIONS: We won’t modify this clean an example, however at the time of writing we have a second Mini Pops n slightly more used condition available. See the site or get in touch for details.
*Keio is the forerunner of the mighty Korg empire.
NOTE: Rear cable cover is present but was missed off in the photos! Exceptional condition throughout. There are a few small scratches to the metal faceplate but it seems unused and is as clean an example as you could hope to find. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.
For sales in UK/EU the price will include 20% VAT. If you have an EU VAT number (outside the UK) you can enter it at check out to have VAT removed.
