This page lists prices for customers in Australia, or who are overseas
but wish their machine to be delivered to someone in Australia, who
will return it to them.
To the TR-808 page:
../ .
To the
../prices-int/ page for customers
who are outside Australia.
These prices include GST and are for payment with cash or transfer to
our bank
account (we will email the details).
After your machine arrives I will discuss the modifications you want
via email or phone. I will confirm the work to be done with the
total cost.
The following lines can be copied into an email, deleting those which
do not apply. The items below
do not include freight costs. Please see
../../freight-insurance . TR-808s are too valuable to be sent by Australia Post.
$330 Cleanup and basic repairs, including pot
cleaning and write-spike mods.
$330 New backup battery arrangements with larger
capacitor, internal battery holder for
cylindrical lithium battery with the lithium
battery installed and a switch with two
LEDs to separately indicate the charge of
the three AA alkaline batteries and the
lithium battery.
See ../#membak for full details.
$275 Install Omron sealed tact switches.
$330 Install new 220-240V power transformer and
mains lead.
$660 4 Level Accent system.
$660 Sound Modifications with 3 Audio Inputs.
or $825 Sound Modifications with 3 Audio Inputs
and 3.5mm socket for audio/CV signals to
turn on Accent. ../#accentin .
$660 32 Banks of Memory.
or $880 32 Banks of Memory with Dynamic Bank
Switching: two 3.5mm audio/CV input
sockets with two LEDs to invert two of the
memory bank address bits.
or $1100 32 Banks of Memory with Dynamic Bank
Switching: four 3.5mm audio/CV input
sockets with four LEDs to invert four of

(These DBS options are described at
../#dbs and are listed as TR-808-1 on page
3 of the 32 Bank Memory with DBS manual
which has a full explanation.)
MIDI In and Out, MIDI In or MIDI In for Sync only. Descriptions at ../#midi :
$990 Kenton MIDI In and Out system kit (link)
installed, with In, Thru and Out sockets
and a higher quality C&K push-button switch
mounted below the rear panel with a protective
surround.
or $xxx Real World Interfaces MIDI In system with
MIDI In via the Sync Socket and a 3.5mm
socket for the Auxiliary Trigger output.
This was planned, but it seems unlikely
that I will develop it.
For which there is an optional:
$176 Sync Lead (link) which enables up to three
slave devices to be driven with the DIN/
Roland Sync which the MIDI In system
generates when receiving MIDI Sync.
or $350 Real World Interfaces MIDI In for Sync only
system with MIDI In via the Sync Socket.
This can use the optional Sync Lead too.
