1983 LinnDrum LM2 with Midi and Tuning Mod

via this auction
"Here is a list of the things that set this LinnDrum apart from a stock one: 1983 LinnDrum - SN# 1270

- JL Cooper Midi mod - Allows you to connect to a pc and receive midi signals, so you can program the drums in logic etc and have the signals sent out to the Linn, very cool.
It can also be used to send midi to other midi devices etc.

- Added tuning knobs for Bass, Hi-Hat, Ride, Crash, Cabasa, Tamb and Clap. This took me 100+ hours to build the tuning board and get everything to work. I also bought the original knobs from Forat for $45. I didn't get to finish the sidestick tuning mod but have all the parts and instructions which I will include (the knob is installed/labeled).

- Replaced 8 sliders which were scratchy - I wanted this thing to be perfect so I bought replacement sliders from Forat for $15 each ($120) it took a day to solder them in.

- Replaced 2 missing feet and 1 slider cap with an original (will include spares from Forat).

- Installed large thumb screws which make it easy to open up the Linn to change sounds etc.

- I also replaced the batteries so it will be good for another 10 years.

The condition of the unit is fantastic with only a small chip off one of the wood corners (right rear) and a scratch on the Linn logo."
