Ahem. He's talking about me. I've bought a Wersi Galaxy model from a guy
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was quite reasonable, although the shipping
and handling has added very substantially to the cost. (not at all
unexpected, BTW) It's currently in New York, awaiting a few more papers
for customs clearance. I may yet see the thing this year. Or not!

Pix of the particular Galaxy model I'm getting, if anyone cares, can be
seen at:

A merry Christmas indeed! I hope.

Amazingly enough, a mere 10 miles from where I'm sitting now!

Earlier this year an oldish guy I know took me to see his home-built
electronic theatre organ - it was awesome!  Three manuals, Big spring
reverb tank, free-phase oscillators etc. Cranked up, the floor shook and
the windows rattled!  What I thought were two low benches were actually
bass cabinets! He'd bulti EVERYTHING, including the beautiful wurlitzer-
style wood cabinet, and had even engraved the tabs.  He also showed me
the beautiful violins he makes, his workshop, in the eaves of his
bungalow house, and so on.  Like a lot of old folks he was really cool!
I hope I'll be like that.
Frank, (and Paul S.) Have you tried one of these?
