"I have had this organ since 2003 but for the last four years it has been in storage in a bicycle shed. This is not really an optimal way of storing such an instrument but I simply hadn't space enough in my old apartment. But now I have and therefore I set it up and turned on the power expecting the worst!
To my surprise most of the organ worked fine. An integrated latch in the bass and a transistor in the power amplifier had died. But that doesn't have to be caused by the storage conditions. I think it would have happened anyway.
But since I had the organ opened up anyway I took some pictures and made this video.
The music is recorded back in 2005 in two layers. First I recorded the Elka Preludio and then I added strings and harmonies on the Elka EP-8. The melody was a hit for teenage idol Ralph Carter back in 1975 and later for the Flying Pickets in 1984. There might be others but these are the ones I know."
