For the record I have never seen or played one personally so the issues I mentioned were based on second hand information.
They did produce Crumar keyboards at some point and I can verify that they were very poor quality firsthand as were a lot of
the Italian synths back then Seil, etc.....

Hamichord is not far off from 40 lbs and is totally authentic. Owned one for 2 years. Completely satisfied even though there is a newer vintage. In process now of having some custom hardwood made for it. Complete and authentic 'B3' interface though I am running a set of Hammond B3P 25-note wooden pedals with my converter box. (B3P is not midi standalone pedals). Putting a new board in it soon too.
Self-upgradable.

(Use an XK3 System bench too)

Now runs VB3-2 that is a gas via K12s/Sub. Love it!! and can't wait to do the custom cabinetry.
