A few days ago I bought a Old karaoke machine for $20.

It's DREAM SAM9703.
I modded the cable and connected it to the als120 sound card.

Great find. I happen to own a DB50XG that used to live in a Korean karaoke machine. Came complete with nicotine smell and spilled drink residue 😁

🤣...
It's a perfect description.
Please add one more dried cockroach.

I'm pretty sure the Karaoke machines got more boards than the actual market for MIDI ever did. That being said, someone could make a tidy pile of $$$$ if they came across enough machines to be mined for a pile of daughterboards.
