The slider caps are even more brittle than the ARP ones and I glued mine together again.
At least I found most parts of the caps in the cardboard box.
But even more interesting is the two different ULT Sound DS-4s.
I'm lucky to have both now and one is a custom version were you can link channels together
by pulling the mixer pots ! That's the coloured one, the black one doesn't come with this feature and
doesn't have the pad velocity tuning slider...kind of weird but even more versatile than the Pollard
where the Japanese probably got their inspiration from back in the day ;-)

Kraftwerk used the 477 Syndrum and you van see it in the panel of their rack on the Computerworld LP.
The drumsynth craze never ends ;-)
