WORKING CONDITION: Fair. Both keyboards feel good, and while the control voicing options do work, some are intermittent, depending on the keys pressed. The Bend and Wah controls work via the Knee Lever that drops down from the bottom. The Volume control gets louder but does not eliminate the audio signal when it is turned down to zero. Owned and used by a pro music producer but has been out of use for many, many years and was kept in a climate-controlled storage locker here in Los Angeles. It would be fair to say that it could use a tune-up and possible service by a qualified professional. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Fair. The tolex covering on the case has several rips, and the keyboard's metal work shows signs of use (see photos). The legs are missing, but the keys, drawbars, knee lever, switches, and internal speakers are in good condition. 

INVENTORY #59085

BRAND: Vox

MODEL: Model V305 Continental Baroque 

FUNCTION: Keyboard Organ

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a 1969 Vox Model V305 Continental Baroque Organ Keyboard. The Vox Continental Baroque (V305), produced between 1968 and 1970, is a rare dual-manual combo organ that represents one of the most advanced—and complex—models in the original Vox lineup. Unlike the standard "single manual" Vox Continental that powered the sound of bands like The Doors, the Baroque was designed to be a "portable orchestra," adding a multi-timbral upper keyboard with analog voices meant to emulate instruments like the harpsichord, lute, and piano. The Continental Baroque is definitely the rarest of the four Vox organ models sold in the US by Thomas. These were never sold outside the US and Canada, as in Europe the Continental 300 was the deluxe organ, which more resembled the features of a Hammond organ, while the Baroque was much more in the Thomas and Lowrey style.

SPECS:

• Serial # 18078
• The Baroque model combined traditional transistor organ tones with features more commonly found on home organs of the era.
• Dual Manuals: A 61-note keyboard where the lower manual utilizes the standard Continental drawbar arrangement (8', 4', 2', and IV mixture), while the upper manual features specialized percussive voices.
• Analog Presets: The upper keyboard includes tabs for voices such as Harpsichord, Lute, Celeste, Banjo, Cimbalom, and Carousel.
• Built-in Amplification: Uniquely for a professional combo organ, it has two 6x9 speakers mounted in the lid, driven by an internal power amplifier.
• Performance Controls: It features a "drop-down" knee lever that can be switched to function as either a wah-wah or a pitch-bend effect.
• Bass Section: Includes an 18-note bass section on the lower manual with dedicated drawbars and sustain controls.
