Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer

A Roland TR-808 for sale fully serviced and in good condition overall with some age-related wear.

Serviced by a top engineer and in superb operating condition.

It sounds great and is a joy to program and tweak.

The condition is as you'd expect from a 30 plus year old machine: there are numerous scuffs, scratches, marks and rust spots, especially to the metal sides and edges of the case - more significant rust/paint loss along the bottom of the rear edge below the jack sockets. The plastic end cheeks are in good condition and overall the main face is very good - probably had the protective overlay fitted for much of its life.

The photo is a generic one of a previous machine we sold - photos to follow soon.

We've sold several excellent 808s to satisfied customers in the past so buy with confidence.

Price includes VAT at 20% (for sales in UK/EU) - buyers outside the EU please contact us for tax-free prices. VAT-free sales possible to businesses and individuals in the EU with a valid VAT Number.

It is a 100v Japanese model and will run fine 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.
