A friend from high school (40 years ago !?!?) had a Farfisa Mini Combo and a Gibson. He stopped playing both when he got his Hammond.
Hey that could have been me!
In my case, though, I traded the Farfisa for an RMI electric piano. Come to think of it I don't own a VI with the sound of that piece of... er... vintage equipment yet.
Oh, and for those who didn't know, Clavia chose to make all their keyboards and synths (Nord series, now the name of the company itself), red in honour of the old Combo Organs.
Korg's new SV-1 ("Stage Vintage") is also red as an homage to the Vox, which is under Korg's ownership these days (note that in my linked thread they showed a sneak preview of a prototype of an unreleased reissue at a trade show recently).
It would not surprise me if Korg does re-release the Continental, as they've been bucking the trend recently by coming out with oddball stuff like a true vintage analog synth without MIDI (for only $50!), and a versatile ultra-sensitive percussion synth (WaveDrum) that also doesn't bother trying to translate its intricate parameters into MIDI.

Ohhhh vintage keyboards... Hmmmm... I have a 1920s Bösendorfer in my living room but no room for organs. These new plugins are a major space saver if nothing else.
Does anyone have one for the Multi-Moog, one of the coolest pieces of analog gear ever? not only was each key programmable but the stock patches were taken from Wendy Carlos.
Anyway... the OP was for a cool bit of freeware so I'll remind you of another. Part of the MDA free plugs is a Leslie simulator that is surprisingly good - and automates perfectly in DP for us Booker T fans who like his way of constantly starting, stopping, speeding and slowing his Leslies - often doing all four in 8 bars. http://mda.smartelectronix.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Well, if Korg reissues the Continental, I would hope it's built better
than the original. The originals were really poorly constructed. The Jaguar
was better built, I don't know what happened to the QC on the Continentals.
