Look at close up pictures of Ian Hunter’s circa 1970-1971 and it looks like it was thrown in the roadway and run over by trucks. There is even a story that appeared in The Horse’s Mouth that Ian Hunter kicked the piano into the audience in Detroit once. Mike Davis told me this story from a first person account and it showed up again in the Horse’s Mouth from another person, so it is probably true. They must have been rugged.

No, I don’t own one – but I did at one time…and the Harmonic Synth as well. I helped a little with some sounds for the KCII – and they were kind enough to place the KCII chip in my KCI. I also had presets custom made for my KCI and they gave me the lighted buttons from a HarmpnicSynth to utilize. I’ll send you some pics if you want? What did the KC sound like? Great organ, bells – and with some chorusing added, super strings. The Harmonic synth wasn’t much of a stage instrument – I ended up trading mine back to the dealer in exchange for one of the first Prophet 5’s(#38). It worked for about 10 years and then died a complete death. The RMI was still working…I sold mine for about $3000 to a collector in Washington State.

Hi Charles;

Have you ever worked on the RMI Keyboard Computer first version?

I have one and I am looking for someone familiar with their basic design that can trouble shoot it!

Thanks!

Hello Charles,

is your RMI keyboard computer still available ? I am very interested in buying it if it is still available ? Do you also have any of the foot pedals ? Do you have any of the original punch cards ? What ballpark price are you looking for ? I know a good white glove courier, Hedleys, who I use regularly who can pick it up and also pack it for for me . Would you accept payment by bank wire ?

Please let me know I am a serious buyer and not a time waster.
You can check my ebay profile ‘electronicperriand’ to check my feedback rating.

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Kind regards.

Sean Bentley
