I would try some bootlegs of Lawrence Welk's band or some early Bobby Darin
LP's.
Welk was initially going to sponsor the Chamberlin instrument (if it was
called a Welk machine) and supposedly some recordings (probably unreleased
demos) were made with the Chamberlin used in conjunction with his band.
Probably nothing of great interest.
Bobby Darin apparently used one. I'm not sure whether it was live or studio
use but Richard Chamberlin mentioned it in passing once.
