hello all! I have located an allen organ and I believe from the pics, it is an ADC 2m model. It has 9 pistons under the swell..i'm assuming set, gens 1-7, and cancel. It does have the memory B from what I can see in the pics of the black tablet. On the right side, is the red LCD piston "announcer"if you will. This organ is coming from a church that has been purchased by another church in the past year. I am told the organ may need a sound board and amp..help! what does this mean?? Supposedly there are external speakers that have been lost but the pic shows grill cloth on the console...i'm assuming internals?? What am I up against??

Re: getting an allen adc 2m and have questions
Hello,</p>
Sounds like you may be getting an ADC-420 or something like that. Fortunately, you have an excellent resource in your area. I'd suggest that you look at the Musical Instrument Technicians Association for a service person in your area and call him. I'd recommend John Birdsong from that list.</p>

The organ would have a "blind" capture action, which means that the tabs wouldn't move when you press a piston. It sounds from your description that they are settable, though. It sounds as though it may need a logic board, and these usually run in the $500-$800 range--should one need to be replaced. Hard to believe they've misplaced the internal speakers! One can always add external speakers as well.</p>
Not sure I've helped, but hope so.</p>
Michael </p>Way too many organs to list, but I do have 5 Allens:- MOS-2 Model 505-B / ADC-4300-DK / ADC-5400 / ADC-6000 (Symphony) / ADC-8000DKC

Hello, Pianoman.</P>
Welcome to the forum.You know who I am, of course.Feel free to contact me by phone or facebook.Tell me what church it's coming out of and perhapsI can fill youin about the situation. I may have sold it and/or installed it. </P>
It may not need a TG board, as failures of that board have been rare. More likely to be a power supply problem. Will be glad to advise you on speakers, etc.</P>
