Very cool setup Tony. now for a trivia question. Who used the Cordovox on their top 40 hits? There's only one group I can think of. My cousin had one with a small Leslie-wow for the time it was a great portable organ. I had a Farfisa and it didn't sound near as good.


Bill ... your question sent me 'google-ing' and I found some interesting stuff:
