one that works at the right price
yes
they are pretty cool.. nice organ sounds too.. never caught on
the right price on any of these electronic or digital accordions
where the maker is out of business, and parts are unavailable,
is the amount of money you are willing to write off, if/when the
device dies and it's value goes to zero 0 nada nothing zip

I acquired an Orlavox about 2000.
It felt nearly like an acoustic to play and had great accordion and orchestral sounds but limited editing facilities.
I very much liked it but it was poorly designed and problems started more or less right from the start.
The sound module had intermittent issues and went back to Orla twice but the issues persisted.
I acquired a second hand replacement module that also developed issues.
It's been dead for many years and I now bastardise it for parts.
If a working model became available I would consider it but it would have to be dirt cheap.

and of course their Organs under many USA brand names
after decades still fire up !
hadn't heard much about the longevity of the orlavox itself.. bummer it didn't last
for you
was yours the last model that had no controls on the grill ? a hidden system
as i recall
