Jerry Lewis demonstrates the Chamberlin (via MellotronMovie)

One of the earliest forms of a sample-based musical instrument.  Chamberlins have tape loops playing inside them at all times, and when you press a key, a playback head touches against the tape and plays the sound.  Very advanced stuff back then.
