Allen MDS-36

Morning everyone... any thoughts on a ballpark price for a MDS-36? Decent shape, standard 4 external speakers. Just looking for ideas on one I've run across.

Thanks!

It depends a lot on whether this is a private sale or for sale by a dealer. My local dealer asks and usually gets about $5,000 for ADC-3100 or 3160 organs which fit in the Allen lineup where the MDS-36 would fit but 10 years earlier. I would expect a dealer to be asking in the range of $10,00 or thereabouts. A private party might be half that.

Thanks...that helps a bit. This one is a private seller.

be sure and check the felt under the pedals and manuals for keys that are noisy. And you shouldn't pay more than $5,000 for it.

Are you going to try to use it to make a 4-manual out of your R-281?😄
