In addition to the Spinet model, another prominent organ at the same time was the Lincolnwood Model SS. However, by 1959, this model would cease to exist. It featured two 44-note manuals and a 3-note pedalboard, making it very popular for home use. In 1955, Lowrey introduced its first commercially successful electronic organ. Unlike the Solovox, which employed unconventional stop terminology, the Organo used conventional names like Flute, Principal, etc. This was a highly successful and brisk competitor of the Hammond Solovox. In 1941, Lowrey released the famous Organo, an organ-like keyboard placed on the front of a piano keyboard. In the late 1940s, the Eccles-Jordan circuit was developed, a very stable generator that was a Lowrey exclusive. The research into electronic music began almost immediately after the invention of the vacuum tube in 1906. Frederick Lowrey produced a working model of an electronic organ in 1918 and continued to experiment with various tone-generating systems until World War II.
