Need help identifying a Gulbransen Organ (electric) and how much it's worth?

[lovenyah]

We are throwing a benefit for a local family and we had an organ donated to us. I am wanting to put it in the silent auction, but I don't know what model it is, what year, or how much to start it. It was great, but does have 4 keys that need to be rewired. I don't know how to do that, so probably putting it in there as is. Everything else works great. Can anyone help me identify this?

I recognise it.. in those years I demo'd and sold organs. Should be a plate( stenciled signage) somewhere on it that gives you model and info on it.( it is a spinet for sure)might look on ebay and see if anyone similiar is on there., possible a local music store may be abkle to help you also..Goodluck

Hi lovenyah

I moved this post into the proper category for better exposure.

I echo what Bill has said above ... that plate (or stenciled signage) could be under the keybeds or on the back of the unit. From there we should be able to help you get a starting bid price for it. Hopefully you also have the organ bench?

I'll go look again.. No it didn't come with a bench :*( She has had it for a long time her kids played with it.. She had a guy offer her 400 a while back but she wasn't ready to let it go then.. now it's a donation to the benefit. I'll see if I missed the plate or something. Hopefully I can figure it out. Tysm!

Looked at lots of images this afternoon ... closest I can come is the Model 441, built 1978-9, so thankfully it's not a tube-type amplifier.
If it has the letter "K" following the model number, that designates "Chord-O-Matic" ... with "KM" means "with memory".

Will be interesting to know if you found the actual model number.

I've looked all over it, I don't see a plate with a model number.

Did you check under the keyboard? maybe painted or stamped and not a plate as such too.

Good point, Bill ...

Also, it appears as if the lid is hinged ... lift that lid (if possible) as the plate or Id might be attached to the back on the inside. I know this is where Allen organs puts theirs. Many others do so as well.
