Thanks. This is not the model I thought it was. The one I was thinking of was of the same electronic design but had two full manuals and a full set of pedals - regular AGO (American Guild of Organists) design. The special keys meant you could play it just like a piano only more so in that you could shape the attack and the decay of each note if you had the dexterity. Great fun - if you are into such things. I can't play myself, which is strange since I'm sitting on a mucho big bucks organ myself. Did I say I was an organ nut?

If you don't object, I am gonna post your photos to Deviantsynth, just because it's fun to bash synthesizer collectors over the head with a 1950 organ full of 6SN7 tubes! Wheee!

Sounds like to me you just got a steal.

I would buy any goodwill amp. They usually do not cost that much to repair, if repairs are needed.

Goodwill? Are you guys talking about the same thing? I think Shane was saying he found a tube amplifier out of an old electric organ at a Goodwill thrift store. Sounds like you're talking about a "Goodwill" brand or some such thing. Is that what you're saying?

I just bought a model 40 Orgasonic at Goodwill for $10. For the most part the sound is good. I have distortion on the E & F keys on all octives and there is one tube missing. It says clarinte next to the empty socket. The mahogoney cabinet and bench are in very good condition. I want to put this organ in condition so I can learn to play it. I'm looking for information as to where I can get the vacuum tubes that I may need to replace.

I'm retired and live on SS so I can't spend huge amounts of $$.

Can anyone help?
