- 1978 Sankei TCH-8800 Organ Rhythm Drum Machine Radio Cassette Combo Japan RARE!
Electronic organ and sound system made by Sankei Manufacturing Co Ltd, Japan, 1978.
A four-in-one electronic organ combination sound system consisting of electronic organ, automatic rhythm unit, cassette player and 3-band radio.
Everything appears to work with the exception of the record function on the cassette player. Comes with original speakers and metal tubular stand. Stand will be disassembled for shipping. Read below for more details on individual components.
Organ
All keys works. Just a small problem of volume. There is a volume control on the bottom. Probably cleaning it, the problem will be solved.
Rhythm Machine
All rhythm patterns work individually and they can also be stacked meaning you can use “Rock” and “Waltz” together or have any of these blended together simply by pushing the corresponding button. The buttons for each individual rhythm patterns are on/off; push down for on push again for off. All 5 rhythm patterns can be used simultaneously or in any manner with each other. There is a control for rhythm volume and also for rhythm tempo; both are working.
Radio
Radio section has 3 bands: FM, SW (short wave), MW (medium wave). Tuning indicator lights up. FM has stereo or mono switch. There’s also an ALC switch...not sure what that is.
FM channels come in strong. And stereo indicator lights up when stereo channel is dialed in.
SW short wave channel was nothing but static and dead air for me.
MW medium wave channel brought in some local channel.
MIC Inputs
There are 2 MIC inputs at front left of unit. Microphone input was checked with a guitar and is working fine. There is a MIC volume control above organ section to adjust MIC volume. There is only one MIC volume that controls both MIC inputs. No MICs or guitars are included in this listing.
There is a Mic on the top of the Antenna. Its quite enjoyable.
Headphone Jack
There is a headphone jack located at front left of unit. It is working fine.
Cassette Player
Cassette player plays well, but the record function does not work.
Level Meters
Both level meters are working and needle bounces according to sound and intensity produced (left seemed to bounce more than right). These meters do not light up (not sure if they’re supposed to...doesn't look like it to me).
Speakers
Original Left and Right speakers included with attached cords. Both speakers are working. Console has a balance control setting and the balance is working to pan sounds through left and right speakers. Speakers each have 2 thread bolts on back and each speaker has one butterfly nut. I believe the speakers can be attached to the stand but I'm not sure how exactly. Extra hardware may be needed to attach speakers.
Aux input. Works perfect. This input its possible to configure to work as phono input or line input.
Stand
Metal tubular stand that screws to bottom of unit. I have 4 screws attached presently and it's holding fine. Stand will be disassembled for shipping.
This is a pre owned, Vintage, stereo organ combo unit that does show wear commensurate of age. This unit has been tested as described above.
This is a Vintage unit with vintage components and I cannot guarantee any of these parts. I am not the original owner of this unit and do not know it’s past history. It is being sold as is.
Please note that this unit is sold as is and will probably need extra cleaning and/or repairs to bring back to it’s full glory. Any future repairs will be the new owners responsibility.
I will take a new video the day of packing and will send to the buyer so they can see the units functionality the day that it ships. I pack my items very well and usually ship the same day (depending on time of purchase).

Sankei TCH-8800 ‘Entertainer’ electronic organ and sound system
Made by Sankei Manufacturing Co Ltd in Japan, 1978.
"The Sankei TCH-8800 electronic organ is an early example of a domestic entertainment unit that incorporated functions that supported the growing trend towards karaoke. It provided an all-in-one unit to sing along to pre-recorded music through the machine using external microphones. Although karaoke appears to have developed in Japan during the early 1970s, it was not until the 1980s and 1990s that it became an extremely popular form of entertainment in Australia. This entertainment unit is significant as a relatively early piece (1978) of domestic electronic equipment that was available in Australia and which incorporated some karaoke-like functions.”
Que chevere
..me..compre uno de segunda mano hace unos días solo por tener algo antiguo... me costo baratisimo... quise averiguar más sobre el mio y llegue a este video
Where's the Coffee maker and Teasmade, and I suppose a clock was just too much to ask! I'll wait for the Behringer version!
So nostalgic to see this! My parents got me exactly the same machine long time back....1980. I was in school then. Used to play my favourite tunes and sing along. Used the cassette player and radio a lot too :)
And is it a coincidence that the radio was playing Physical at the time when you were making the video!! Exactly the same time period!!
