I did fire it up once. There are two sets of keys. They were not touch sensitive. There is one pedal (volume) and a set of bass pedals. After it was on for about 3-4 minutes you could hear all sorts of hissing and such behind the tone panels in the back, probably caps and such going south. I saw this exact same organ on ebay the day after I got this one and it didn't get one bid with no reserve. It had all the tubes and looked way nicer than this one does. Ebay is full of them. As is Craiglist. This one sat at the Goodwill for 4 months they said. Not one offer till me.
To all you people who think I should save this thing. Not to be a stick in the mud, but I have no desire to learn to play it. I played piano as a kid and hate it still. I don't even like listening to piano music if I can help it. Not only that, it would take way more money to bring it up to spec to make it payable and safe than I think it's worth. On the other hand the trafo's alone will go a long way in helping me make a nice audio amp that will get used.
