[sdiy] ace tone ps 1000

[Matthias.Herrmann at jeppesen.com]

seems to be ultra-rare, maybe the japanese members can help?

thats what i found out:

Ace Electronic Industry Inc (normally known as Ace Tone) was a division of 
Sakata Shokai Limited of Osaka, Japan. They produced a portable organ(the 
GT7) and several drum machines. There is a relevant connection between 
Hammond and Roland here somewhere, as AceTone products are too similar to 
Hammond and Roland products. The GT7 organ was a clone of the Hammond X5, 
and the Rhythm Ace FR-2L is a clone of the Auto-Rhythm from
Hammond and rumour has it that AceTone became Roland. A further confusion 
set in because in the UK Ace Tone products were distributed by Bentley 
Pianos in Woodchester, Glos. who always stuck their badge on the products, 
and sometimes Ace Tone drum machines are known as the Bentley Rhythm Ace 
rather than the Ace Tone Rhythm Ace.
