What can you tell me about the Wurlitzer 4250 Electric Organ?

The Wurlitzer Organ model 4250 was made about 1957 or 1958. It was also made with a chord unit in it as an early easy play feature. They marketed as a 2-in-1 instrument. It was designed so an experienced organist could play as well as beginners using the chord unit. Wurlitzer had a few of those models made in the 1950's and 1960's. I believe Lowrey did have some 2-in-1 type organs with the chord units also about the sametime.
