Ace Tone GT-7 circa 1971

Awesome combo organ - with 2 levels, footpedals, cable to send to Leslie speaker (i.e., Leslie 147 6-pin connector), and outputs for 1/4" jack. I bought it a few years ago, but it's wasted on me.

Some history: "Ikutaro Kakehashi was not only the founder of Roland (in 1972), 12 years before that he'd already founded Ace Electronics Industries in Osaka. He was to be responsible for the development and design of the Ace-tone combo organs but eventually left the company in 1972 (the very same year he founded Roland). But before that, in 1968, he'd founded Hammond Japan, a joint-venture of his Ace Electronics and the Hammond International Company. From what I understand this company built and released the Ace-tone GT-7 portable organ as early as 1971, some 3-4 years before they built the Hammond X-5 organ for the Hammond company in the states! (which in fact would mean that the Hammond X-5 was sort of a "copy" of the GT-7 instead of the other way around...) but by then Kakehashi was running the huge Roland enterprise."

"GT-7.  Looks like Ace Tone's answer to the Hammond Porta-B, though I'm told it's actually set up more like a T-100."

 "The AceTone GT-7 was made by Sakata Shokai in Osaka Japan. Shortly after it was marketed in the U.S. Hammond started marketing combo and portable organs made by Sakata Shokai with the Hammond name. The X-2, X-5 and B-200 were all Japanese made. I have obtained parts for my organ both from Hammond and directly from Japan. About that same time the AceTone organs disappeared from the U.S. market. I presume this could have been part of the agreement with Hammond. There were several relatively nice spinet organs made with the AceTone name that had some nifty touch controls."

Check out the videos to hear it in action. All functioning, but the 1/4" output isn't working. It has a built in speaker, which what you hear in these videos. I don't have a Leslie to play it through, alas.
