WORKING CONDITION: Fair. This organ sounds good, and all features and sounds work, but several of the voice switches are intermittent. The output volume is comparable to other organs of the day, but it should be serviced by a competent technician if the end user wants it to be 100% functional.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. The case and metalwork are in fine condition. The four legs are missing, but the keys and switches are in very good physical order, and the case top fits together nicely for protection.

BRAND: Rheem

MODEL: Mark VII Combo Organ

FUNCTION: Keyboard Organ

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a 1968 Rheem Mark VII Combo Organ. The Rheem Mark VII is a rare, Japanese-manufactured transistor combo organ from the late 1960s (typically 1967–1969). Best known for air conditioners, Rheem released this flagship 61-key model alongside the popular Kee Bass pedal. It is highly regarded by vintage enthusiasts for its "space-age" aesthetic, "rocket ship" throttle controls, and versatile stereo outputs that separate the bass register from the higher notes. The Mark VII is known for a rich, "vibey" sound often compared to the Vox Continental. Famous users include John Cale of the Velvet Underground.

SPECS:

• Serial # 2432-346
• Voices and Tones: It features four primary voice tabs—Flute, Strings, Brass, and Reed—at three different footages (16', 8', and 4'). A Bright/Mellow switch and a Multi-Tone Booster further shape the sound.
• Dual-Octave Bass Section: One of its standout features is a versatile two-octave bass register with specific Fuzz Bass, Solo Bass, and String Bass voices.
• Throttle Controls: Similar to the Kee Bass, it uses distinctive throttle-style levers for Vibrato Speed and Bass Boost.
• Dual Output: It offers a dual-channel output, allowing you to process the bass and treble keys through separate amplifiers.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and includes its original 2-pin power cable.
