I gave this organ to a friend 10 years or so earlier as I got tired of lugging it about. As he is moving to the USA, he asked if I would like it back and I said yes.

As with any old piece of electronic equipment, I can't help but restore it's internals to a proper working state. Usually this involves replacing tired and aging electrolytric capacitors. Considering this thing is 50 years old or so, this is one of those cases. It is also chock full of germanium transistors - yummy!

Oh yes, it also weighs a ton!
