OMG Roy, you have just solved one of my questions for over 50 years. That is an?Estey Field/Collapsible reed organ you mentioned you own.
I didn't mention this because I could not describe it but you have described it perfectly. When I was in the Navy riding submarines our of Rota, Spain, I found what appeared to be a suitcase organ in the dumpster on the end of the pier. I pulled it out and saw it only had a rip in the bellows. It folded up and actually fit down the hatch?of the sub. My Chief allowed me to stow it and after our patrol I brought it back on the plane to enjoy for a few years at home. That was in 1968. Now I realize what it was. Thank you.

Hi Ed,?
Have you ever considered changing this group to a Facebook page? What is our purpose here? There are a few Hammond pages there.?
I have two Hammonds: An X-77GT, and an Aurora Classic with Pro-Chord. Plus, I have an Allen 123C, and a 1911 Estey Field/Collapsible reed organ.?
