I just came across one of these and will be trying to repair/restore it in the coming weeks...

It looks like it is in rough shape, but I got it for free with the road case.
It is a Philicorda 760.

Junk the organ and sell the case.

Philips? The same Dutch electronics company? Never heard of a Philips organ.

Nonsense. 61 note manuals! Fix up the pedals and it could make someone an ok practice organ.

Not exactly gorgeous is it.

At least the one posted in this thread has a strange early 80s high tech meets Dr. Who look about it.
I kinda gotta hear it now.
If you get it going, please post sound clips eh!

Not the cutest girl at the Prom right now. True enough. But these things have a very unique sound. Yes they were made in Holland I think.

I will put up some clips when I get it here, and if I get it working. I plan to sell the case alright.

Here are some nice photos of one in great shape...

I found a site that has information on the model GM754. The dual manual 760 is basically two of these with the bass pedals in a spinet format. This site has several sound examples.
