Also the Grand 100 or G-100.  This organ was in a concert style cabinet.
Foot pistons, three gas pedals, preset buttons - the whole nine yards.  Not
too many were built.  It had a tone wheel generator driven with the blue
motor.  It included harp and chime keyers, manual couplers and pipe organ
nomenclature on the voice tabs. The tube type power amplifiers, vibrato,
chorus, celeste and reverb units were mounted in two rack cabinets in the
back room.  The speakers were located in four areas of the churches.  The
G-100 probably came out in the late 60's or early 70's.  I serviced two of
them.  The last one was retired last year.  Both were in large churches and
were replaced with pipe organs.
