This is what he or she wrote about it...
" I don't know alot about this organ but, when you plug it in it plays music
and appears to be in good working condition. "
and then...
" I just realized that this organ has a disc player in it. The disc spins
and the lights come on but there is no sound from the disc, it is very dusty
in there "
I find it all a bit charming...
My Mellotron sounds great and music comes from it. I just realized that
there are tapes in it...
