Lowrey C-500 height measurment

[dressur4]

I looked and looked and I can't find any technical data on this organ on this forum I know it is a HUGE forum but if any of you have one or worked on one would you mind sharing the dimensions of this organ? I have an opportunity to get a good one and want to make sure it fits in my van Thank you very much for your patience , and if this question was already answered please gently show me where it is. thanks

Mike Bracchi will have a brochure with dimensions on it over on Vintage Organs, or you could look in the Brochures section of the Gallery on here.

Where do I find the vintage organ part. I looked on here and cant find any brochure on the C500 I can't believe I am having this much trouble trying to find the dimensions someone on here must have one and could measure it no? I am frustrated. Just need the height measurement the C300 is 43 iniches tall is the C500 the same cabinet?

[andyg]

No it's not the same cabinet, the C500 is 'chunkier' than the C300.

Sign up to both groups and ask, someone there will know.

The only critical measurement is the height. the highest measurement I found was the Imperial and it was 47 inches not including music rack the C300 has a height of 43 inches If it is under 50 inches I am good as gold and I STILL haven't found that piece of information yet. Maddening

Asking the seller to run a tape measure over it would seem a simple solution!

Maybe this is what you search for?

You`re welcome.
The C500 was my dream organ when I was a teen. Absolutely beyond any price my parents could afford. Lowrey was extremely expensive in Germany. Even the smallest ones (which were not really good) were more expensive than a decent Viscount, Farfisa, Yamaha or Hohner organ. I still love the C500 and it‘s design. Today it would not be expensive anymore. But getting it to run properly and keep it running is just too much an effort.

I have a brochure for a C500 and it's in German I wanted to go to Germany really bad to meet my Dressage hero. Klaus Balkenhol in Coesfeld Anyway the C500 was my first decent organ as I had an old Allen TC12 that didn't work and then found an old Schober theatre for free and it didn't 'work . my friend gave me his C500 cause he got an Allen ADC 4500 and then I moved and gave it to a collector as it stopped working. This one is in mint condition and works great I love the sound of that organ plus the looks and I am also getting the model before it ell two of them the Symphonic theatre I have a HUGE I mean HUGE Allen church organ a monster I think I am good on organs for a while
