Have You ever heard about that stringmachine? How is sounds?

No I haven't

Hahaha, lol.

Looks like a plastic toy Fender Rhodes, maybe it shouldn't be underestimated. It could be nice sounding.

I´ve bought once such a old "organ" (built 1973), -never- again! It was the biggest mistake i ever made. Only Pulse-Waveforms, the different "Instruments" were only differences in their pitch and their filter frequency. The absolute kick for improvement: A Mono reverb spring....but the analogue drum section was quite interesting (five presets *wuargh*), snare/hihat/BD. tTrashed it, wasn´t any Cent worth i´ve payed for it.

Surely you took the spring reverb out?

No, it was only a small one, not noticeable when connected, But a few weeks ago i slaughted a ELKA X30 "organ" and got there a reverb spring. This is quite interesting, i remember that my parents had a old Philicorda and i often struck against its side, when it got its contact problems. This produces a really nice sound, somewhat like being in hell....

I really want a spring reverb.
