This is a very rare vintage Roland Organ.
It has very similar operation to a classic Hammond B3 organ as
it has drawbars and a percussion function. It makes some great
organ sounds.
The chorous vibrato has a neat rotary speaker effect. When the
speed buttons are changed, you can hear the effect like a
rotating speaker spead up or slow down.
The organ is in good physical shape with a few minor exceptions.
the handle for the lowest drawbar is broken off. The drawbar
can still be operated though. It probably wouldn't be hard to
retrofit a handle some how, or it might even be possible to order
a new one from Roland. The only other items are that there is some
tape on the top of the right hand side wood panel, there is some
tape residue on the back top of the unit etc. Please look at the
above pictures.
The only issues that I could find are that one of the "A" keys sounds
a little bit off and the 3rd percussion function doesn't appear to
make and difference in the sound.
I did some checking on the internet and found a music store
selling one of these organs for $569.00 that was in condition
2.5.
