just acquired this beautiful organ
it played for 10 minutes then died on me
sound amazing
the power switch does not light up any more it did when it worked please help
The lack of illumination in the power switch suggests no power reaching the organ. Does anything else work from the same wall socket? If not, it sounds like a fuse has blown in your circuit rather than a fault with the organ. Do you have a fuse in the plug that goes into the wall socket over in the States. If yes, I'd try changing that first.
1) check fuse in the plug and any circuit breakers in your house
2) check fuse(s) in the organ itself - very carefully. There are lethal voltages in the power supply and those fuses may be in a hazardous location.
3) It's very possible that the electrolytic capacitors have failed - they are over 50 years old. If that's the case, it will take some electronics knowledge and skills to replace them. Alternatively, if you can find an organ service tech near you, you could pay them to do the job. But it will cost more than the organ is worth - which is realistically zero.
Remember that although fuses can blow through old age, they usually blow for a reason and that reason could be expensive.
It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.
