tabletop organs...

[cfz2882]

got a Magnus organ the other day-blower was locked up from a long period of disuse,but a drop of oil and a little nudge got it going again-fun little musical toy-brown plastic,made somewhere around 1969-75 i'd recon.Had an Italian made Bontempi table organ many years ago too In both machines,the blower was flat disc type with "fart fan"type motor

We had one of those for a while when I was a kid. I would mess around with it sometimes, but my sister could actually play some songs on it. She took piano lessons, so knew how to read music. I think my mom got it at a church sale, and when we tired of it, she gave it back when they had another sale.

"Chord Organ"

Here's me with my "chord organ" in 1960.
We later got a Magnus - a bit bigger with more chord buttons. It was wood and on metal legs.
It was placed in my Dad's basement "bar room" as he enjoyed playing it too.
I have always loved music and have been a church organist for 40+ years.
