Hey, Guys: A recent member to my combo organ discussion group has a Kombo organ model J-1395. I'm not aware that that model appeared in any catalogs or price lists. Does anyone here know differently? It's got two Jensen 15s and two HF horns.
Another unique thing about this organ - it's the first one I've become aware of in the wild that does NOT have the preamp panel. He says the serial# is 1081, which is the lowest one I've run across.
Also, while looking into it, I noticed that my website references the Altec 2x15/2HF version as model AK-195, a model number I got from the 1968 Kolor Katalog, but looking here I see an older catalog with A-1495 and four 12" Altecs, and a price list with A-1495B with 2x15/2HF Altecs. I don't suppose any of you can shed any light on the AK-195/A-1495B discrepancy?

Thank you (that's my site).
The story was related to me by Jimm Bennett (who used to be a regular here), who said Bud told it to him. As I recall, he wasn't 100% convinced that it was a true story, so I've always kind of looked at it with a skeptical eye.
Was Bud prone to embellish stories like that?

The story Jimm Bennett told that Bud sent tech's out to repair a fault of the keyboard section is true. I had heard that story from Bob Brinkman a tech at kustom during the 60's. I was at our first kustom convention in December 2000 when Bud relayed the story to a group of collectors. Matched pretty much what Bob had told me back in early 70's.
