Casiotone CT-102 keyboard + 2 Atari 2600 joysticks
Well, would you look at that... another Casio keyboard. Only this one's WHITE! And that's about all the information I can give you on this thing. (The internet has been surprisingly disappointing for me lately in regard to finding obscure information.) Going by the CT number, the hugeness/heaviness of the keyboard, the number of features/tones/drums it has, and its uncharacteristic white coloring, I can tell you that it's older than any of the other Casios I currently own. I'm gonna guess 1985 on the 102. Can anyone school me on it?
While white and maroon may not seem the most natural of colors to go with when designing a keyboard, I think they really pulled it off here. Plus, I can't deny the coolness of the stenciled Casio logo. And neither can you.
Alright, in an effort to help disseminate some info on the 102, here are some specs:
¤ 6 Tones: Piano, Elec. Piano, Organ, Oboe, Clarinet, Vibraphone
¤ 4 Rhythms: Rock, Swing, Slow Rock, Waltz
¤ Main Volume, Accomp. Volume, Tempo sliders
¤ Sustain switch (on/off)
¤ Casio Chord function
¤ 49 full-size keys
¤ 9V DC jack or 6 "D" batteries
¤ 1/8" output jack
I rescued 102 from the Goodwill on Esplanade (in Kenner) for 15 dollars in the midst of a rainy sick day. Oh yeah, I also picked up two Atari 2600 joysticks for $3.95 at Red White & Blue. These work much better and just seem newer than the two that came with the 2600 I recently bought. Plus, you can still see the orange rings around their sticks. Bonus!
