In my experience working on them, some of the high end Electones sounded pretty good. But this example doesn't fit in that category.

Pretty weaksauce Electone. I use(d) a beefier one from the same era - the D-80 - for years at Petco Park. There was plenty of cheesy timbres to be gotten, and indeed the auto rhythms were cool, but even I had to put it through a Ventilator to get a tone I actually enjoyed hearing in the stadium.

A little while ago a tenant left an Electone behind when they moved out. Turned it on, played it and put it in a skip along with the rest of the stuff they left.

I bet that sounded great too. I played sideline @ Busch Stadium, all sporting events too, killer gig. Never played their Organ, couldn"t even get near it.

But the sound in a real stadium smells like Victory. Absolutely love that Stadium sound. Best natural slapback one can hear.

If the front-panel paddles for voicing control are the same mechanisms that were used on the CS-80, they're worth a hundred bucks to a repairman on their own. But never having worked with a BK-4 and not being able to tell from the photo, I could be very wrong...
