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.
