Perhaps it's just me, but I think the Philicorda is a great little
organ. I only know the all-transistor version. I don't know what
makes it's sound so pleasant (although a bit cheesy too), perhaps
it's because of the filters that use real inductors?
And its tuning is very very stable. I once repaired one and it was
very well in tune being about 40 years old. It has obviously never
been re-tuned since the laquer that secures the cores of the
inductors was intact.
