Kimball Electramatic Player Organ
By James Jelinek

In regard to the Kimball Electramatic player organ:  The player unit
is not very large and it has Popsicle-stick size pneumatics that are
glued down with some sort of really tough glue.  You almost have to
make all new bottoms for these.  Other than that it's mostly like the
darn Kimball players of the 1960's and 70's.

I have one of these organs which I started a long time ago and never
got up the ambition to finish it.  The biggest headache beyond the
player is the electric organ, because now's the time most of these old
devils are having problems.  These were neat when they were new, and
kind of a kick to listen to, but a headache for service in some areas.
That's my two cents worth.
