ONDIOLINE Quick Oscillator Repair Job using Forgotten Futures Book
video upload by Vintage Keys Studio
"A brief explanation of an oscillator fault in the Ondioline. Resistors around the Oscillator valve (an ECC82) were all original and some had failed, causing a rise in pitch whenever a note was played.
Filmed and Badly Edited on a phone by Steve Christie, as Louisa was away on holiday. Steve hasn't had a holiday for 10 years.

Philicorda GM 751 Valve Organ from 1967
video upload by Vintage Keys Studio
"Steve Christie from Vintage Keys Studio demonstrates a fully working* Stereo Philips Philicorda GM 751 Organ in all its glory.
This organ came to our studio in need of repair and has been fully restored by Steve. It is a valve/transistor hybrid from 1967. Later models were solid state.
Comes with a LDR based swell pedal which attaches to the base of the organ via a DIN plug. It has two internal speakers that face out left (source signal) and out right (source signal / reverb switched) for a stereo effect.
The organ is mounted on a sturdy iron frame with attractive wooden supports, and comes with its own equally attractive music stand.
Valves: 8 x ECC83, 1 x ECL82,
Neon Lamps/Diodes: 5 x Z70U, 68 x ZA1001, 1 x ZZ1000
Transistors: 3 x AC125, 2 x AC128, 4 x AD149
This organ has been used in sessions for many years and continues to remain a reliable keyboard with a wonderful variety of sounds which can be modified using the 5 filters and their combinations, 3 organ registers, Vibrato circuit and Reverb (called 'Reverbeo') - on German models this is labelled 'Hall'
Steve and other session musicians from Vintage Keys are available to record this organ for you as a layer to add to your own project. Please contact us at https://vintagekeysstudio.com for more details."
