RE:Chamberlin 200

2003-12-09 by charel196

I saw one of these in the back warehouse of I.A.M. studios in Irvine
CA back in 1980-81(where the photo of the M4 I posted in the photos
section was taken).The studio was run by Skip Konte(Three Dog
Night,Blues Image) who used Chamberlins with those bands.There was a
huge stockpile of odd keyboards in storage,including the 200 and a
Yamaha GX-1(!).The 200 I saw was in MUCH better shape.
Seems like there must be more of these units out there
someplace...perhaps in thrift shops or somebody's grandparents house.
