Hi Everyone,
I am new here, apologies if this is not the correct sub. I just scored this organ for free on Facebook and am collecting soon, hopefully. Initially I thought I could restore it and make a little profit (this is all very very very new to me), but have since read and learned that these things are a dime-a-dozen. So this will really just be a pet project to make something old feel beautiful again.
That said I still think this could be a fun project. I have not been able to get any information from the "seller" other than this picture and the fact that it has not been turned on in over 10 years.
I did a reverse image search and came up with a JVC Victron G-310C, Story & Clark Magi and various Lowrey models with similar structure but none of the same controls.
This one does appear to have a tape/cassette recorder so I googled that, hoping to narrow the results. I came across this thread http://www.organforum.com/forums/sho...ette-recorders but none of those seem to be the same either.
So all that said. Could anyone assist me in finding more information on this?
I have never done this before but I can already see that some of the springs may have slipped for the keys, from the few guides I have read. It also looks like some of the pedals at the bottom are missing. Looking forward to finding creative ways to fix all that!
Also are there any inherent dangers in cleaning it up and plugging it in to see if it does still work? Or would first cleaning out the interior and boards etc be recommended?
Many thanks
