Hi Leeboy
A number have been imported into the US as well as Europe (Before the downturn in the economy, there was a dealer in Germany that would import them for you) here are a couple of sites which may be able to put you in touch with an owner in your area.

The main reason that caused the Electronic Organ decline was the organ manufactures themselves, as when they added all the easy play features, users asked why do I need to learn to play an organ when I can just press a button and play along to it, thus the Arranger (Although the name arranger name didn’t come in till later) came about as the Japanese identified a hole in the market. (You can get more T3 in a container then you can Stagea)

The best upgrade for any arranger is a pedal board and expression pedal, as you can then really go to town. (Most pros add a pedal board and Expression pedal at some stage,or at least they do in Europe and the Far East)

Example:
One of the biggest bugbears of arrangers is that you have to be careful what inversions of chords you use otherwise it plays the wrong chords, this means it is very difficult to get a true flow of chords in the left hand, (And if you try playing counter melody with inversions, even the best fall apart) On Bass helps, but it is still a compromise. With pedals connected (Even if you don’t play bass (Worth learning though) you can use the pedals to control where the arranger goes without having to keep adapting your chords to what the arranger wants. (You’re in control, not the arranger)
The other alternative is to sequence everything, but if you want to vary the backing on the fly (For variation) you’re stumped, as the sequence is fixed.

One thing you can’t deny though is that for the home hobby player who just wants to enjoy playing his favourite songs quickly, the easy play of an arranger is the best thing since sliced bread.
