This thing turned up on Craigslist yesterday night, for $50, at a retirement home. Supposedly "everything works" (although I don't think the guy selling it is an organist, so we shall see), although it is missing the bench. I jumped on it and am set to pick it up this weekend.
Originally I just wanted it for the pedalboard, to replace the Allen Princess unit on my MIDI VPO project console. But the more I read about this Conn 720, the more I am starting to think it would be worth restoring and tuning and just keeping to play as a cool old vintage tube organ. Apparently this model has several different waveform generators, and the few audio examples I've found online actually sound pretty decent for what it is.
What do y'all think?
