I use to play one of those about 30+ years ago. I started with a Mini, borrowed
a Compact & bought a "Fast 5"(gray & white keys). Farfisa approached the 
"Hammond sound with the "Professional" used by Sly in the Family Stone -- 
it tilted on a stand. My very first organ was a Panther 100. The thing never
stayed in tune so I keep the cover loose to tweek on-the-fly. "Memories"
