The Polymoog. I remember it. I tried it once (I was hiring keyboards for a gig back in 1983) at home - I took many hours and I couldn't get any really useful sound out of it - and I found it simply awful. My cheap (= price back then was less than a third of a Prophet V or Oberheim OBXa) Korg Polysix sounded better and was way easier to transport. I ended up hiring the good old Minimoog (still love it!) for solo lines.
...just remembered the (IMHO) horrible Polymoog, since you mentioned it.

Jools Holland used an RMI in the very early days of Squeeze, followed by a Polymoog (as featured on "Up The Junction") and eventually a Yamaha electric grand. Not sure if he used a Hammond with Squeeze, but these days he tends to play acoustic grands, Yamaha digitals, plus occasional B3 and Wurlitzer. On one or two occasions he has also played a Roland digital harpsichord.
