Magnus Electric Chord Organ harmonium accordion synth
via this auction
"This is a relative rarity I believe. It has one voice, which sounds just like a harmonium or an accordion. It is electric, you have to plug it in. It has a built-in internal speaker and no provision for a separate output jack to put it into a mixer, though I suppose it would be easy to hook one up, we've always just miked it. It has 12 chord buttons on the left - push down and get the chord. The list of chords on the bottom row is missing but they are obvious and if you want to you can place separate little stickers there. The case is made out of plastic and has several scratches as might be expected. The bottom is made out of particle board and has three screw-ins (one is missing) where legs used to be - it no longer has these legs but they would be easy to replace if you desire as the screw-ins look to be standard. We always have used it on top of a desk or QuikLok light-duty table. Everything works - buttons sound chords, all notes depress and play. A very psychedelic sound, especially if you run it through a phase or tremolo pedal." Update via Greg in the comments: "No internal speaker. Runs off of pure air that comes from an internal fan. Just like an accordion."

In my first "band," Caleb (the guitarist) had one of these in addition to his Aria Pro II (and Rickenbacker amp). I had my Rick 4001 (played through an Acoustic 50W *guitar* amp) and MS 20 (but the Korg wasn't really useful for "The Bad Attitude Blues Band," even if we only played in Caleb's bedroom...). Our drummer, Fred, played a cheesy set of blue sparkly drums and sang...
