Does anyone know where I can aquire a pipe organ console with pedals but no pipes?

[DrawbarDreams]

I was thinking of probably having a organ console without pipes so I can pretend to play the organ with samples on an FPGA and getting someone to make the FPGA to connect the console to it including stop knobs, or I can just use it as a display piece to mess around with chords on without the pipes on it, picturing the sound in my head, then taking it to a real pipe organ in a church, I was thinking also of converting rock songs to pipe organ music, but I don't know how to pedal bass, I can only left hand bass, so can anyone help here with some pedal bassing techniques and maybe a pipe organ console for free?

You could look in eBay or Craig's List for a console.

I think Janis Joplin provided a good approach for getting a free organ:

I believe that Providence had something to do with the procurement and installation of our Schantz III/72 (which we found on www.churchorgantrader.com about 10 years ago). Too many coincidences had to fall into place for it to happen.

Without an electrical engineering degree its going to be pretty difficult to program an FPGA to do what you want.....maybe i'm confused with something else, by FPGA do you mean Field Programmable Gate Array? There are many consoles out there on ebay, and with a little bit of work they can be rigged up for hauptwerk software.
