"Up for auction is a very old vintage organ with the original box, original 8 sheets of music and instructional paperwork. Made by GTR, Orgatron Model #29 comes with the optional 6v transformer (Radioshack 14-854) so you don't need six "C" batteries to operate it and also two extra books of music (The best of chord organ music Vol 2 and 24 Country Favorites No.4). The organ and paperwork are in pretty good condition. The box has some torn flaps and some writing. It does play, all the keys do work. I read in another auction someone said theirs had a carrying strap, this one does not. Rare collectable, hard to find with the box and paperwork. SOMEONE ALSO REFERRED TO IT AS A 'ANALOG SYNTHESIZER'

Go to the you tube website, someone is demonstrating one of these:" [embed above]

Orgatron I


via John:

"I've had this thing for several years-- found it at a pawn shop-- but never thought to look it up. It's an old monophonic electronic organ. It says "Orgatron I" on the front. There are four switches: 1. Power 2. Vibrato (On/Off) 3. Volume (Slider) 4. Voice (Flute, Reed, Brass, Horn). The last switch appears to be some sort of preset variable filter. It would be awesome to mod it to be continuous, but that's beyond me, and I wouldn't want to open it up. It will run on 6 C batteries, but also has a standard AC power adapter plug similar to the Casio SK-1. Anyone know more info on this? All I could find was this:" "Here is a vintage Orgatron I which is a battery operated organ or you can use an AC adapter for electricity instead of batteries. It takes 6 “C” batteries which are not included. This organ comes in the original box and there are 5 music folio’s included. They have 8 sheets of music with a song on each side and there is quite a large variety of music. The first folio also has the instruction sheet and it is dated ©1973 GTR Products, Inc.

Here is a list of some of the songs available to play on this organ. Little Brown Jug, Pop Goes the Weasel, Old Dan Tucker, Ten Little Indians, Skip to My Lou, Red Roses For a Blue Lady, A Hot Time in the Old Town, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Greensleeves, Fascination, Animal Fair, This Old Man, with some religious songs along with a few Christmas and so many more... It measures 15 ½” long x 8” wide x 2” tall."
