So - I'm seeing an Elka Rhapsody 490 on Ebay for $150 - that seems like a workable solution for the time being.  I know the sound isn't exactly the same, but it's in the ballpark - any opinions?

Deiter - thanks - that gives me some hope.  I wonder what the trouble/effort would be in chopping the string section out of an Eminent and rehousing it - or if it's even  practical.

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...
