This version says ADM Prime on the top with silver topped knobs.

I had seen them before (Core and Prime) and asked someone during NAMM and they were going to look into it...and I haven't heard back.
This seller is an Electronics Waste Service and has multiples...so possibly these were early models before the Strata Marketing to be disposed of etc and not intended to be sold to the Public as I see there is an ADM Music company that sells ADM Electronic drums..

Originally I seen them at $2K ea..then down to $1K ea...for either Core or Prime.
The Core Module(s) are worthless without the DB25 Harness...which currently are not offered separately.

No idea until I hear back on them....risky purchase.

Keep in mind...this is Pure Speculation




NOTE:

After placing on my watch list..less than an hour later I received a Discount Offer for $699

I'm with Chaser on this. I wouldn't pay more than $300.00 for those Primes and $100.00 for that Core. A cable harness missing isn't that big of a deal as it could be figured out with a little trial and error. The biggest issue with them would be if they 100% function as a production model and if it can be updated. I'm sure Alesis could make their updates not function with specific early modules if they wanted to. I'm guessing these are preproduction/Lab units. I do know that Alesis will have Lab units and sometime they don't have regular serial numbers.

I know this because when I got my Strike kit (mine was a pre order), the module was dead on arrival. Alesis sent me a "replacement" module, but I noticed it was used (which is very strange for a brand new product that had just started shipping for one week). There was a sticker on the unit that stated "Lab Unit".

I also remember a very early DM10 test unit making it out in the wild that was colored funny. I've included a picture of it.
