"Early British classic with that gritty, punchy analogue character.
Recently serviced: every pad triggers reliably; no noisy pots.
Original flat-pack box included. All-original hardware.
Serial (no. 242) on chassis; “Made in England” plate intact.
Set a tempo, balance the per-voice levels, and you’ve got a solid groove in seconds—no menus, no programming detours. The tactile pads invite quick ideas (fills, accents, breaks) and the adjustable pad sensitivity lets you dial in the “human” feel that helps parts sit in a song. Its distinct British analogue tone layers well with samplers/DAWs: track it straight in for gritty loops, one-shot it for kits, or re-amp it through pedals for textures. It doubles as a dependable writing click with character, so riffs and basslines arrive faster.

Fast, hands-on layout. Front-panel rotary controls are primarily per-voice level/volume (plus master TEMPO and LEVEL).

Pad feel is responsive; use the rear trimmers to dial sensitivity for dynamics or hard, machine-tight hits.

Multiple 1/4" jacks along the top panel for audio connections (see close-ups).

Power: 9V battery operation or 9V DC mains adapter (PSU not included).

Condition

Fully working. Pads all trigger; sensitivity trimmers on the underside let you set your preferred feel. Cosmetic wear from age and use: scuffs/scratches and some discolouration; a few rubber feet missing (see photos).

Included

MPC the KIT unit
Original flat-pack/knock-down box"

Selmer Companion Electric Reed Organ SN 152

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by riffers

via this Reverb listing

"Selmer Companion reed organ from the 60s. In tune and wonderfully “parlour-harmonium”: bright, reedy mids with a gentle breathiness on the attack, then a steady, organ-like sustain from the blower. The chord buttons give an instant drone bed with that slightly nasal, woody timbre that cuts through without ever getting harsh. Think small chapel/folk harmonium vibes—perfect for drones, hymnal pads, psych-folk textures, lo-fi soundtrack cues, and vintage pop hooks. Hear it in the demo (skip to last photo). Typical vintage tuning and keybed feel; expect minor variance vs modern concert pitch.

Features

Classic electric reed organ with compact keyboard and built-in blower/speaker
Left-hand chord section: Major & Minor buttons (C, G, D, A, F, B♭) for instant accompaniment
On/off/level control, integrated flip-up music rest in the lid, suitcase-style cabinet with carry handle 1960s/70s Italian vibe: gold fascia, cream case, and period hardware
Sounds exactly like you want a small electric harmonium to sound—see the demo"

External output, headphone out
Expression pedal input
Built-in speaker that’s quaint yet surprisingly punchy

video upload by riffers

via this Reverb listing

"Back with another charmer: the Wersi Entertainer—that unmistakable 1970s/80s German home-organ vibe in a slimline, wood-cased package. Heavy, driving rhythm section (like only the Germans can), lush organ tabs, and built-in speakers for instant fun.

Set a tempo, punch in a style (March, Samba, Slow Rock, Waltz, Beat, Swing), and layer chords with Auto-Chord while you hunt melodies on the upper keys. The rhythms are steady and weighty enough to act as a “groove grid,” so song ideas arrive quickly. The on-panel balance/volume lets you sketch arrangements (pad vs lead vs rhythm) in seconds, and the bold, simple voicings sit in a mix without fuss—great for writing hooks, auditioning progressions, or tracking guide parts straight into a DAW.

Features

Voices via coloured tabs: Horn 16', Tibia 16'/8', Klarinette, Perc 8', Vibrato, Auto Chord.
Rhythm presets: March, Samba, Slow Rock, Walzer, Beat, Swing with Start/Stop and Tempo.
Onboard stereo speakers for plug-and-play use.
Rear panel: pitch trim, external amplifier output (DIN), 12V battery input, and external speaker connection.
Compact, wood-veneer cabinet with Wersi badging.
Rear panel: external amplifier out, 12V battery input, external speaker out (2–8 Ω), pitch trim.
Condition

Fully functioning: all keys, tabs and rhythms tested and working. Clean overall with light cosmetic wear consistent with age; see photos for close-ups."

"Sound design is all about adding detail, flavor, and texture. The Erica Synths Fusion system II is a rather unique synth voice with a lot of interesting ways to add gain and drive, using tubes. In this video I share some personal thoughts about the system, and go over the modules to explore their options."
