Google search is beyond fruitless...
All that comes up are parts lists that have 609 resistors and some kind of 
transistor.

The parts are all metal can, three pins. most legs are shielded with some kind 
of rubber. R609 980239 on five of them. Got blue dots on the face. One with a 
rubebr sleeve around the can and all three legs shielded, says "R657 990239". 
Has a brown dot under the labeling. Pulled from the voice cards of a Thomas 
organ. card says "copyright 1960" on it so who knows?

There's also these magenta-colored multipin flat devices that look vaguely 
like a SOIC chip, except for the fact that it's around two or three CM tall 
and it's got longer pins and it's all wrapped like a ceramic capacitor (the 
outer sheet -- some kind of plastic?). 8 pins. Odd spacing. seven, then a 
blank, then the eighth. I'm thinking precision resistors, or something, but 
anyone actually know? marked "848 6235" "13-5007-3" and then the pinout (the 
pin post-gap is, indeed the 8th). There's 3 per voice board.

Thanks in advance.
