I've been the proud owner of several Crumar's (Orchestrator, T1, DS-2, Synergy). This is a nice sounding pseudo-B3, but is a bit thin sounding straight. Left-hand bass is very good. Use to use it on top of my Chamberlin back in the 3-piece days.
As with all Crumar's of this time period, they're heavy. They also had a minor reputation in their day for slightly dodgy circuit boards....but, overall, they're fairly reliable, easy to use and flexible.

They are great for cheesy and non cheesy string sound, unique leads and signature sounds. DS2 and Performer are notorious for that. I kind of half hate when somebody finds one on my gear, they have to take the piece.
