If it sounds like a Hammond. Who cares where its from.
take it Ponch if you got space and a mate to help lift it ! Sure if it doesn't work you could get it repaired. Looks like a cracker old style !
Being old school you'll probably find the components such as transformers and chokes are much better quality than what you can buy today and it would be worth it just for them
It probably sounds horribly cheesy. EKO weren't a high-end brand. It certainly won't have tonewheels like an old Hammond has, so certainly won't sound like one (and for which you'd also need a Leslie cabinet). It's also only got a few presets, so nothing like as versatile as a tone-bar equipped organ. I'd expect something a bit like a Farfissa sound - if it actually still makes a noise.
There's not a lot of info available on the web about these organs.
EKO organs were made in the same factory (EME was the parent company) as the later Vox Continental organs.
The Cantor organ name was taken over by Viscount - another Italian company who are still going making organs and synths (some of which were branded as Oberheims), so maybe EME morphed into Viscount.
There is just no way I could leave that on the side of the road. Sounds alright if you ask me.

well it works! Good score Pabs!
Oh I didn't get it Franken (if I lived in the area, it would be another story), just found a vid of the same model.
Unfortunately if you snooze you loose .. by the time I had organised a trailer it had gone ...

Bugger....
Ooopsies! My bad Pabs. Monday and all.
Looks similar to the '70s Yamaha Electone my parents had, which I used as my first electric guitar amp. Which was cool because it had a faux-leslie speaker in it (rotating baffle I think). The organ was cheesy (check out Gotye's "State of the Art" to understand what these things sound like. They sound nothing like a B3.
