Two crazy guys, 3 wild combo organs, 1 sweet fall day!
Paul Haugen of Right hook music and Bob Weigel of Sound Doctorin' (http://www.sounddoctorin.com) mess around and talk about three classic combo organs. The Fast 5, peak of the 'fast' series of 1968 is a great find. The Whitehall 6640 combo organ is another fairly rare find. One of the coolest looking little organs with the red plastic top (not shatterproof as Paul found out on a previous shipment of one of these which I had to do a resin repair on. ) and great sounding! This one is complete and in near mint shape. The Fender starmaster is extremely rare. These apparently never went into actual production. They were made by Porto in Italy and Fender was considering them as a product to replace the Contempo. Not sure what happened but there are a couple oddities about these. The bass controls are wired backwards for one. And there is no way to tell any difference in the vibrato speed near as I can tell. Also the percussion inst. feature is kind of a niche weird thing. You can create the speed of a marimba kind of noise I guess you'd call it that goes when you are playing even when no tabs are selected. But it also modulates some of the tabs. It has some very rich sounds. There are two banks of switches and you can A OR B them..or A+B them. Great for a quick 'patch' change. I modified the LFO circuit on the ones I have to make it so you can hear a difference :-). Easy enough to swap back if someone wants to restore it to what it was for historical value. ...since someone said there were supposedly 9 of these made. Again a pretty great looking plastic wood grain top on these. Anyway probably the only time in history these three organs have been seen together in one place. lol.
