I bought a lovely old Bontempi chord organ and it arrived in the post today, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. After taking it apart and investigating the innards I think the problem is that the motor is designed for 240V. Sound is produced when the motor-powered fan draws air over reeds attached to the keys. Unfortunately it doesn’t run fast enough on the Danish system to make any noise. I think I need to buy a step-up transformer, unless anyone knows how to build one? Lots of coils and iron is all I remember.
Oh, I got this working!
