[edit] In the Air Tonight
The drum machine on this track is definitely a Roland CR-78, see In the Air Tonight and Phil Collins discussing the track at [1].--Ianmacm 08:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rolandcr78.jpg
Image:Rolandcr78.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Current Resale Issues
Were you to purchase a used CR-78 today, you may find that it does not work. One possible source is the notorious leaky battery. The battery (used for remembering saved rhythm programs) is notorious for leaking onto the board and more or less destroying your chances of having a workable drum machine. It can be fixed, but it is often difficult to find reputable repairpersons at reasonable cost. Another option: you may have a machine that was designed to work in a different country than your own. Example: if you live in America and your machine says 220v (on the back), then you will need to buy a step-down transformer to take it to 110v. Vice versa for other (opposite) countries. In fact, even if you have a leaky battery and your machine has incompatible voltage, try voltage conversion first - it may indeed save you a lot of money, as not all leaky battery situations are lethal.
