Not at all. We are talking Lowrey, Thomas, and Kawaii, Balani etc.. Junk
that was made with maximum gimmicks for minimum cost, or was just to crude
to be of any value, either audiably or historically. 

By late 70's, early 80's even some of them had some value, as electronics
got better. But still, buy the time one of these things has been sitting in
the garage or cellar for 20 years, after years of abuse by dirty fingered
children, a lot of individual examples would still come under the landfill
categorey.

As for the Hammonds, it amazes me how many people still wreck the things.
Down here in Aus, they are hard to come by in any form.
