In addition to whatever electronic and mechanical work, learn about oiling the thing -- very important on preventive maintenance.

in fact, from the looks of it i'd wager it's got the ORIGINAL tubes still in it.

Apparently, it's also the organ Rick Wright of Pink Floyd used.

Super jealous. This beats my Wurlitzer funmaker to the curb.

Great find! :joy: I wish I found cool old stuff for ridiculous prices. Maybe if I left the house... :idea:

I too keep reading "organ" and imagining this is a sex change thread and giggle just a little. Nothing wrong wrong with trading in your gear for something new...teehee

I keep seeing things like this on craigslist. They're far too tempting.

I can resist the CL organs these days because one would need to go up or down stairs. Now if I see a mobile Vox or Farfissa in my area, I'm gonna get in trouble.
