Acetone GT-7 Organ 1971 Predecessor of Hammond X-5 and Hammond B-200

Good condition - working Two keys were broken - but were glued together with epoxy (the glue has dried out on one so needs to be repaired again). Contacts need cleaning Original stand - folds down for storage/transport Comes with pedal board - needs some repairs (some soldering, schematics are available online), it's never worked for me. Does not come with Leslie speaker.

Great for a home studio.

Pick up Mt Eden or buyer to organize shipping.

Will consider offers.

"The AceTone GT-7 was made by Sakata Shokai (Sp?) in Osaka Japan. Shortly after it was marketed in the U.S. Hammond started marketing combo and portable organs made by Sakata Shokai with the Hammond name. The X-2, X-5 and B-200 were all japanese made. I have obtained parts for my organ both from Hammond and directly from Japan. About that same time the AceTone organs disappeared from the U.S. market. I presume this could have been part of the agreement with Hammond"

The Acetone was designed to run a 147 Leslie, the X5 used a 760 Leslie (which because of it's design, could be stopped, as well as run slow or fast). The Acetone hookup was in the main keyboard body, so that the user could opt not to use the pedal assembly and frame (the pedals are part of what holds the unit steady.) The X5 on the other hand, had it's connections in the pedal board, thus limiting the users option
