[sdiy] Univox Drum Machine

I have a Univox drum machine I seem to have killed.

When I got it, it worked fine... then I got out the screwdriver...

Removed the chassis from the wooden box to get to the board hidden on the
bottom side ( the diode array and clock ). And now it doesnt work.

So, I'm hoping maybe someone has a schematic out there.  Google searches havent
turned up anything at all.

Now, you are probably asking why I took it apart.  Well, thats the easy bit.
I wanted to see if it would be possible to replace its clock with a midi
driven clock so I could sync up those awesome patterns.  It would be fairly
easy to just trigger the drum sounds directly from the top board, but the
patterns you get by pressing down two or more buttons are just too fun...

There is no model number on the unit.  Its one of the organ-top boxes, fake
wood veneer with a sloping front.
on drummachine.com is just called the Univox Rhythm
