Yeah, with Diki, Donny, and Ian being the 'first responders', I mean, what could go wrong, there? . Southbound, anyone?

Anyway, thanks for being the first to actually address the question that was asked. And for gawd's sake, get Donny a waffle fix or something; I think his blood sugar might be low .

Alright now, Mr. Innocent...you've done your fair share of nudging (I'm being kind) a thread in a Southerly direction...and, you play jazz on a RED plastic organ...you're just lucky that we occasionally step in and make the threads...er...interesting.

Looked way better in black, in my opinion.

It appears orange on my computer, which is even worse. The blue marvel is still the best color Happy Memorial Day everyone.

On this here i have to agree with DIKI...GrooveBox and No Pads its kinda i dont know.
I dont mind the color actually i like it but the machine itself has nothing on it to actually
be a GrooveBox...thats why Lee sees it more of a DJ Machine even though is not.
He probably heard the name GrooveBox and nowadays when someone mentions
GrooveBox the first thing that comes to mind is DJ's and Pads for controlles which none
can be found or seen the this machine. Color to me personally dont make any difference
but controlls on top actually do...i love lights since i am a Trekkie and wont mind if i was
sitting on the Enterprise Commanding Bridge...i would love it.

Yes, you're probably right Fran...it does appear to be plastic, and even when I played one, I wasn't aware that it was anything but plastic.

It's still red, which in my opinion, should be reserved for single manual combo organs, and automobile taillights.

Somehow, a double manual organ should be in a wooden style cabinet, as in Hammond XK3c/XK1a...or at the very least, a dark grey or polished black.

I can say one thing...I'm tired of all these silver colored arrangers.

I think the end caps on the C1 are painted wood but I can't tell for sure withough sticking a knife in it. It looks like wood.

I rely heavily on looks for a keyboard,that is a big reason i can't move on from my old rustic 9000..can't stand the silver finish or plastic buttons on any tyros's.
Keyboards an dark colors need only apply, fancy colors scream of operators expeirencing somekind of careless infancy.


But that said..that blood red Groove KB thing above would give me migrianes after an hour or two..may even invoke an eleptic(sp)seizure.
