This is fascinating stuff! I just bought the book/2 CD set.Thanks for posting.
Too bad that the one existing unit was cannibalized for parts.I tend to have doubts that Mr. Mothersbaugh will ultimately be able to restore it.

Very interesting folks, both HL and RS. I had the opportunity to work with Jeff Winner, one of the producers of the Raymond Scott book/CD Set (MRI Inc) from Basta Records.

I helped with a bit of research of Raymond Scotts business location in Farmingdale, NY over at Willow Park Center where Manhhattan Research Inc. was located. This is the location where RS did most of the Electronium work until he packed up and left for Motown records in california. Jim Henson, of Muppets fame, use to visit RS over at this location in NY to do collaborations on some of his work.

I believe that Raymond Scott was a pioneer when it came to using electronic sounds in commercials. Audio Logos as he called them.
