(Preface: Pardon the many interruptions. I kept having interconnect problems that could cause defeat switches not to work etc. so I said some things twice etc.)
The Viscount version of the "Intercontinental" organ I see is very similar on the face to the GEM. From the diagrams I'm seeing, the GEM used transistor dividers whereas the Viscount from 1974 it appears from the tag inside used the SAJ110 divider chip of that era.
This is the first of these to really be featured on the internet near as we can tell. No diagrams of this version seem to be available. Perhaps there are some similarities though in the GEM whose diagrams are available from the Combo Organ group on yahoo I believe still. Ask Robert there if you can't find them. BUT this organ at least seems to add the 5-1/3' selection over the GEM also. The one photo of the GEM on combo organ heaven isn't sufficient to see all the details. Anyway enjoy! (PS we do have the bass pedals for this thing also but I didn't show them in the video. We'll do a photo shoot though and submit it to combo organ heaven).
