I like it. I've heard them before, on Soma FM's Groove Salad channel.

I never thought about this but it's the same for me. Where I grew up in the early 80s, our neighbor had one of those "automatic" organs, not as sophisticated as the one in your video but it did have bass pedals and a drum machine. I remember going to their house just to play with it. I used to get a kick out of forcing all the rhythms to play at once, when you pressed one button another would pop out so you had to use all 10 fingers at once to get them to play at the same time. I must have been about 6 years old. That part of their house burned down when I was about 8 or 9, thankfully no one was hurt. I don't remember what happened to the Organ.
You'll love this one; this is a classic that I remember from my childhood..Don't remember where I saw it for the first time, I think they "projected" it at school.
Charles and Ray Eames, an interesting couple for sure. Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair!!
