8 THE DIAPASON HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A NEW ALLEN DIGITAL COMPUTER ORGAN FOR$200?

There is just one hitch. You must already own one. I! so, chances are you find it quite satisfactory as Is. Nevertheless, we want you to know about our new Computer Organ voicing stop options. It may seem unbelievable, but BO% of the voices In the Digital Computer Allen are stored In a "memory" device like the one above, measuring about one Inch square. It can be easily replaced by another of Identical outward appearance, but having a different "memory". Your nearby Allen representative probably has an instrument with the alternate VOicing. I! you prefer these tones, they can be installed for about $200.' This applies to every Allen Digital Computer Organ ever sold, from number one. We are Indeed happy to be building the one organ that need not become tonally obsolete. I! you are unfamiliar with the Digital Computer Organ, or would like to know more, drop us a line.
