An instrument bought from a friend who found it too heavy and no "there is only one sound, one can not choose as the electric piano from my parents." I got it for next to nothing (60 Euros). As in 1975, and has seen quite a few countries, it was not in very good condition. Fortunately, the hammer (wooden, not like in future editions as they are plastic) were intact. But at the tines, there were about 6 that were broken. I then gave to a specialist for review in Switzerland, and I even customized level outside (new color).
Currently it is like new and sounds great. It has a very sensitive touch, a color of its clear-cut as one would expect of a Fender Rhodes Mark 1. I connect via a pedal on a large Polychorus amp Fender Bassman 100 1971, 100-watt lamps. With this, I get a warm and round.
A mythical instrument, which requires a minimum of care and attention, which, if not exposed to large changes in temperature and humidity not too high, keeps a very stable tuning.
It's heavy to carry, it is cumbersome in a car (especially with the amp), but it impresses on stage or on record.
