Hello All,
I'm in search of a 1960s compact organ of the 49-key persuasion.
In the market for, but not limited to.....
Yamaha YCs, Ace Tone Top 5/Top 1, various Teisco models, Farfisa Mini, or something I don't even know about.
Looking to spend abouts $500.
Thanks for Looking!

Go for the Yammy..sounds great and waaaaayy more trust/roadworthy....price is all over depending on condition..I've had 25's and 45's now have a 10 that I paid close to 1k for shipped but has original legs/pedal/ top of case and is mega clean..they can be had for less but really check out condition...if you're going to gig it get a 10..good luck

I've got a Doric I'd part with, and I'm coming through Seatle on Tuesday if it's isn't snowing like crazy...
Parking at SeaTac for a week, so we could even do the trade-off on the return trip if you wanted it...
It's lacking the weird Italian power cord (I'd re-plumb it with a standard plug), and probably needs a good cleaning...
I fired it up 10 years ago, and had to spray quite extensively under the hood to get all the keys to work...
But they worked...
How about 250.00 delivered?
Here's a similar one on E%&y...
I can snap pics....

The Doric is a Great combo organ, and a good alternative to a vox or farfisa. Plus that's a great price.

Wow, you've seen one? Mine is the only one I've run into except for those ones I pointed to...
It's Italian, and does indeed have a Farfisa-like vibe...

Bump!
Still on the hunt for an organ. Have some recording coming up in the future so I gotta find one. The Doric mentioned previously is still in the running, but I just want to see if anybody else has something out there.

That's ones been up for months. Might be a last resort for us, but Not looking for a double-decker right now.
You guys playing the surf night again this year? Maybe we should get BNK on the bill????....

Mel Bergman posted a Farfisa Compact Duo not too long ago.

Click on the link at the bottom of his post to see his stuff. I know it said for a Showman, but he has other stuff for sale in the link.

Nick, I have no idea about Seattle this year, but you should be lobbying Leon heavily to be on the bill. Tell him you're good friends with Frankie and the TomorrowMen

He has it listed in the pictures. Don't know if it's been sold, though.

I might be selling a Wurlitzer 7300. It'd be a bit more money, but it's in great shape with the case, stand, pedal, etc. PM if interested.
