Well, this is an old thread, so I'll take it slightly off topic.

I collect combo organs from the '60s and in my collection is the ELKA Deluxe Duo owned by the Strawberry Alarm Clock's Mark Weitz. It's 100% complete and "SAC" is Magic Marker written on the cases and bags. It was mint when I bought it, but was shipped to me via FedEx freight, who damaged the case. I'm in the restoration process. Took me 2 years to locate the correct red and black Tolex, but it will once again sing...

Here it is; damage not detectable in this photo...

Here's my lineup of '67 ELKAs, from the smallest to the Deluxe Duo:

I've also got VOXes, Farfisas, A Hammond, a WERSI. a Hohner, a couple of Teiscos, several Gibsons, a Howard, a Baldwin, and a Fender Contempo. 30 in all.

I was a keyboardist before I picked up the geetar...

I was wondering the same thing! It's a good thing you don't collect church pipe organs!! :lol:

Wonderful keyboards collection! I know nothing about keyboards/organs but isn't the Hammond B3 like the cadillac in this genre? I do know I like the sound of it 8-)
