Hello
I've bought a restored and great sounding and looking Arp Solina String Ensemble version 2 with lo/hi-stereo output for eur 700. They can be found for prices between 500 and 800 euro in Europe.
I've also got an Eminent 1600 Orchestra (big home organ, which sounds great by the way) and it features more or less the same string ensemble as the Arp Solina. And this one costs between 0 and 150 euro here...
