Anyone know what these might be worth?
"I found it in a thrift store some years ago. Colours: cream/black with a brown semi-transparent cover. There's a small chip at one end of the outer case. All keys function, including the chord buttons. Tabletop model.
According to the stickers on the bottom it was made for Magnus at the Overpelt-Plascobel factory in Overpelt, Belgium.I think it works with a fan. There's an instruction in Dutch on how to remove the electric part of the organ in case it needs to be repaired. It explains that in doing so, you'll avoid expensive shipping and possible damage to the instrument. The electric part has to be send to the "Magnus service station". Depending on the owner's guarantee, Magnus will send a replacement.
The power button is on the bottom of the organ, next to the fan."
You can find additional info on the Magnus 468 here. Also see the Magnus label below for more posts.
Update: it's for sale. Local pick up, Maastricht in the Netherlands. Contact bhovens gmail.com if interested.
If you've ever heard one, then you'll have a pretty good idea what it's worth. Imagine someone playing an out of tune harmonium while using a hairdryer.
ReplyDelete15, 20 ... 30 Euros on ebay france, every week, all year long; there are a lot of them available there.
ReplyDeleteI bought mine for 5€. It's not a synthesizer, just an organ (more like a harmonium in fact).
ReplyDeleteI quite like it for lo-fi purposes.
You might sell this to a hippy if you can get the fan to blow Incense.
