Cool Estey portable in Dayton Ohio and the price is right! $25!

I wish I was a bit more head over heels for reed organs because this is a good one.

BTW I personally have a Bonvicini Pianaccord that looks just like the one here that come apart in two sections and each fit in it's own hard shell plastic case.
I might sell at some point if any serious interest.-Paul

It's a great bargain, even if it isn't actually a portable; in fact, the style was called the "Modernistic" case, and was made with various actions, up to 5 full sets of reeds. This is one size down from the largest action, it would have 4 rows of reeds. The left pedal is actually a crescendo, the right pedal is the swell. It's motor-winded. I would say that this is a very desirable late-model Estey, if you are willing to accept the motor and live within those limitations.
