It looks like it was an old Hammond J or a VS something or other ... Keep an eye on the pick-axe ... as two of the idiots nearly lost their 'nuts' :lol:

That's a J being attacked. I learned to play on a J100 when I was 7 years old. My feet didn't reach the pedals without a huge stretch!

They were built to last! Don't think a Tyros could put up a fight like that! 8)

Why?? Surely someone would have given it a home. It just shows how well built they were. It lasted for
41 years until they decided to have their hour or so of "fun". I hope the ghosts of Jimmy Smith, Jon Lord etc come back to haunt them for doing this!!

And, what's the betting, that the pillocks leave the mess there for someone else to clear up? Eh!

The one moron needs to start eating his Wheaties. He could barely pick up that sledge hammer. That was an accident waiting to happen. Amazing they didn't get injured.

What about this lot .... it's criminal; three generations of Lowrey Organs have been butchered and dumped in a car park :(

The Contempo 80 (left in top photo) was a super organ to play ... a superb sound :)

FWIW, top one is an M100A - with the additional voiced percussions at the left hand end. The video is a J100 - there were times when I felt like doing this, like just having finished a two hour concert on one!! :evil:
