The only use of a Lowrey console within the rock world that I know of is by Garth Hudson of The Band. I'm a guitarist turned Hammond player so have very limited experience outside of playing Hammonds or clones, other thana briefbrush with a Vox Super Continental that I found in a junk shop, cheap. I guess that even by 1967 the B3 was effectively the generic instrument within this market. I'm amazed that the jazz/blues world didn't take to this model more. I think that dropping the Hammond (I own an A100 and an H122) while I review my technique will certainly prevent me from being over familiar with the instrument and try to take short cuts. Armed with this, I now plan to drop my self-taught blues Hammond technique and start from scratch properly. I bought the Lowreyas a result of my love of Garth Hudson from The Band, and also the work of Alan Haven & Tony Crombie - probably a very obvious cue to most here, but coming from the rock & blues fraternity 'Live at Annie's Room' was a welcome change/find in a second hand LP shop. If anybody knows when these were introduced/discontinued or can impart any advice on how to work out the manufacturing date I'd be grateful. Interested to read about the SSO-25 info needed, as I have just picked up the later transistor TSO-25 Lincolnwood Deluxe which I find to be a lovely organ (I have a couple of Hammonds and it really makes a change to play something else - exactly like a guitarist can!). Hi there - just joined the forum, I'm a Surrey (UK) blues organist. The tubes? I don't know where these days you would get replacements, but I'm sure you can with not too much effort, and locally. This was a real blast for freinds and family.So you have a real collectors piece contructed out of plenty of old-time American enginuity. It was so flexible I could also reproduce the jingles from popular tv shows from the sixties such as 'Adams Family',' My Three Sons' and more. On my Heritage, I simulated string orchestras, big bands, afro-cuban, Tijuana brass, circus and fairground and much more.

Anyway I don't know your musical interests but the sso-25 is loaded with fun orcherstral sounds, almost anything. I wish we had kept that old Lowrey, it was such an entertaining organ.

I owned a Lowrey 'Heritage' which was pretty much the spinet version of the Lincolnwood, as it had practically the same specification. With that name it had to be a good organ and it was.I know.

Juli, you are the fortunate owner of a Lowrey 'Lincolnwood'.
