Conn 642 "Five-Foot-Two" and "Ebb Tide"

Me playing on a beautiful Conn 642 I once owned. I had to sell it, sadly, and now the person I sold it to has also sold it, so I've lost track of where it is. I owned it for about ten years...my friends dreaded helping me move...its spec. weight is 440 lbs! Someday I'll own another instrument.

KY is just too far to come get it. Good luck though!

I have a Conn Theater 642, SN 54406. Everything works on it - but I may have to sell it if I find an affordable Rodgers or Allen model with AGO pedalboard. Now I'm thinking I should just keep it!!!

@eusyram100 Where are you? What would you want for the instrument?

Hey, i loved the theatre sound to the songs!..Very hearty Base!. I too have a conn, just i need help with what model mine is. It has the full-range Pedals, and 2 keyboard Set's. Now.. mine is both Solid State* and Vacume Tubed. Do you know any way to find or locate my Model Number?.. Also.. do you have any info on what type of Oil the Rotor and Tone Generator may need?. Thanks!

I believe on the back of the instrument there is a metal tag that has the serial number and model number on it. If not there, lift the cover (the horseshoe) and it should be someplace inside the instrument. As for oiling things, I'd let a professional do it, or you'll have such a mess!

It sounds good but you need to work a little on timing and don't rush.

[Observing87]

@Royalorgans Yeah, though not bad for no lessons!

@Observing87 Are you interested in the Conn Theater 642...or live too far away?

[eusyram100]

@eusyram100 Near Fort Knox KY. There's a "sometimes" problem with pedals above middle C - they will sound like the note below. Other times - works okay. Has Min-o-Matic which works. I paid $2000 (which was probably way too much) to a piano/organ dealer back in about 1996.

Is this the same as a 643? does it sound the same? different stops?
