The M, M-2 and M-3 were the first spinets made, why they had 12 pedals I
don't know but they added the high C to all the later spinets..
These organs had the start run swiches under the console and 12 pedals, but
they had eight lower drawbars, one pedal drawbar and nine upper drawbars.
The only tonewheel spinets with the start run switches I have ever heard
of(and I am almost certain that I know of them all) are M, M-2 ,M-3 and the
M-100 series (the M-100's have the swiches in the normal spot).You have
found an odd organ indeed, if you have a chance to see it again double check
the number of drawbars and look at the name plate on the back. Did the organ
look like this one?
Cheers,
Ronnie.

Thanks Bill! By the way, why only 12 pedals? Why not add the C like all
other spinets? Also, what's that other drawbar? What's the pitch? Is it a
mixture, or the 8/9 harmonic?
