I get a bit weary of the term "outdated". I prefer "nostalgic". Maybe I am outdated as well,but I,and many of my contemporaries, remember the sounds of Wurlitzer, Conn, Gulbranson, and Lowry, to mention just a few I had over the years, in addition to Hammond L,M,A100,and B3's.

I don't play to children who never heard of these instruments because we are both outdated, and that's the way I want it.

Overhere in europe, they made many many recordings with the helios in germany, and quite some with the Eminent grand theatre, which my father owned and on which i learned to play my first organ tunes on...

Later on we build our own Wersi Helios... Which was quite a huge project... He kept on playing both these organs till his death a few years ago...

There is so much nostalgia (i agree with Bernie that is the right word) in both these 2 models for me... And many other european organ players.. But i can also understand Donny, these organ sounds never made the us hitparade and music scene... So that nostalgia mostly lives in europe with 55+ people...
