via 1stdibs. Spotted and sent in via Brian Kehew: "Look at this thing! From the controls, it may be similar to the Condor/Kondor Wersi made in the 80s, a pretty hip synth. No price, I think you make an offer...."Details from the site:
"USA 1970's
Words fail to describe the awesomeness of this piece! Made in 1970 by Wersi Electronics, it is one of only 5 ever made. Reportedly its cost in 1970 was over $100,000.
The Delta Digital DX500 organ comes replete with all manuals, control panel templates, music stand, amplified speakers, lucite dollies, pedal board, adjustable bench and chromed keys. And it works beautifully!!!
Speaker dims: 19.5x16.5x44.75" LWHCondition*
Amazing!
Some light scratches, light wear to chrome keys.

Update via organfairy: "This Wersi organ is not from the 1970's. It was part of a series with Alpha, Beta (made famous by Klaus Wunderlich), Gamma, and this Delta model. It is from 1984 or 85 and is all digital.The reason why somebody think it is from the 1970's is probably that it looks very much like the Wersi Saturn that came out in 1976. It was also wide but slim and on two chromed pillars.

Update: word is Daft Punk picked up this clear plexi glass organ. You can see it featured in Mixmag here.
My inner Liberace is screeching "FABULOUS" and my outer non-Liberace is embarrassingly shush-shushing him back into subconscious submission.
ReplyDeleteThat is clearly the most awesome organ ever.
