[sdiy] Vintage organ brand seeking..

Hi list,

20 years ago I salvaged a vintage not-working
organ that had dozens of oscillator tubes
inside its belly and 2 beautiful "waterfall type" ivory keys keyboards.
This was a 1950-60's organ. Maybe early 70's (??)
The body was made of solid walnut, had the size of a Hammond L100 serie
with only one row of "rocker type" tabs on top of the upper keyboard.
This row had the following tabs:
SWELL tabs (around 15), MANUAL tabs (around 5), PEDAL tabs
and on each side of this row there were illuminated wheels (like synth modulation wheels)
called POWER, TREMULANT, MANUAL SUSTAIN, etc..
In the recent years I used one of the keyboard for a MIDI master keyboard project.
The remaining keyboard is is still not used.
The problem I have now is I cannot remember the brand and model
of the organ...($%&?) because I'm trying to find another
somewhere to use some of its parts.
The only brand I had kept in mind of that organ was
GE (General Electric) or American Rockwell
but not sure...

Could anybocy help me on that with some pictures
and brands that look familiar ?
Maybe an old 'Organ gallery book' of the 50-60's could help me..

Thanks
J-Pierre
