This exactly like the one my grandmother had, when I was growing up in the 80's. Her and my mom sold the piano and my mom got this Lowrey organ for my grandmother in either 1980 or 1981 to play. I also taught myself how to play it. I remember my favorite song to play was *My Blue Heaven*. I also remember there were song books that came with it.
I am amazed how they were still making these with the rocker tablets in 1978, as later did away with the rocker tablets, as they claim that rocker tablets were of low grade quality and went to leaf tablets, claiming they were the best in quality. It was a marketing concept to compete with other manufactures who were using rocker tablets on the higher end models. This is not the top of the line organ, but the low end model.

Thank you for sharing! I just got the same organ for free off Craigslist. My husband plays drums so now i get to play along!
Nice! My grandma has had that organ in her family since the 70s so it's cool that she still has it!
