Hi there. Can anyone help me out? What year was my Yamaha Electone EL-40 made? It also has an MDR-10 recorder built in. Here are some pictures of it

I will check with a friend today he had a EL70. I am guessing 10 years.
There were 4 models EL40.EL60.EL70.EL90. None of these were General Midi Compatible.
I consider the EL90 better than the last model they produced EL900.

Hi Graham and thanks for your reply
I contacted a specialist and they estimated around 1994, fitting in with your guess too
Thanks again

Hi!

About EL-40. This Electone was produced for the first time in 1992.
This is not general midi but have midi output.
For more detailed information about Electone you can visit Zona Electone Italia. A very nice site for alla Electone fans.

According to the Electone Museum the EL-40 was first released in 1991. It was later replaced by the EL-400 in 2000 when Yamaha create the hundred EL line.

Cheers!
