HGP Chord Organ

H.G. Palmer was a large and eclectic retailer of electrical goods through the early 20th Century, until its collapse in the 1960s. "Hire-purchase delinquency" was widely blamed for its demise. In those salad days of selling cheap radios door-to-door during the Depression, how could Herbert George ever imagine he'd become part of what was Australia's largest corporate collapse? This solid state and solid timber H.G. Palmer chord organ was on vacation under the stairs of a Melbourne sharehouse and, though not in great shape, it still made an interesting, nostalgic kind of sound. In this sample of it, you can dial in cheesy vibrato to taste, along with some phaser. And if you actually like the extremely noisy motor/fan, you can mix that in as well!
