Back in the days before Hip Hop  and big beats, Harry Chamberlin was way 
ahead of the times. Latinos would  mount the 20 in their cars, charge up the 
compressed air storage tanks,  crank up the volume on the Chamberlin (which 
was connected to a big mono  speaker in the car trunk and cruise in their low 
riders through the streets  of LA

The  best part is that the audio comes out over that nifty oval dash-top  
speaker in your '63 Rambler that's been baked through the windshield over  at 
least eight hot California summers....now that's Hi-Fi!!

never  saw this model  before


That's because this is the near-mythical "dashboard model" . It  also 
contains a radar detector. 


If  the cops pulled you over for using it since radar detectors are illegal 
 in most municipalities, you just switched the rhythm portion on and  
waited for the officer with those wonderful beats playing. Worked like a  charm 
every time, I hear. 


At  gigs, the radar detector could tell if the guitarist was playing too  
many notes, in which case an alarm went off and delivered 50 amps of  pure 
power right to the unfortunate guitarist, sending him flying right  off the 
stage. As negative reinforcement, it was quite effective. After  a few jolts, 
the average reduction in excess guitar notes was well over  50%.


Can't understand why they didn't sell more of  'em...
