No polyaftertouch, and mine felt no different to that of any of the semi-weighted Yamaha boards in my list.
Well, I don’t have any pictures of my first organ because at the time my parents could not afford a camera. They did buy me an electric fan harmonium for my birthday, though, and I’m still proud of how they went out of their way to make my dream come true of owning an organ and learning how to play it. Mine looked a lot like the Farfisa in the picture, though I’m sure it was a cheaper remake. It closed like a suitcase and the legs screwed off and could be stored in a recess at the back of the organ. There were two volume “settings”, which basically pushed more air into the thing. I loved it.

I don’t miss any of my past instruments because I was never satisfied with any of them when I had them.
I started on a cheap knockoff of a Farfisa, when what I really wanted was a Vox Continental. When I got a real Continental what I really wanted was a Hammond B3. When I got a Hammond, I really wanted a road crew to carry it for me.
I do, however, miss the keybed of the Hammond. If only somebody would sell a (non-OEM) MIDI controller with waterfall keys!
These folks sell one … and they make MOJO hammond clone as well
Very cool. Thanks for the tip.
Shame it costs as much as a Crumar Mojo.
