electric organ

For the past year or so i have been haulin away scrap for a pastor that is slowly remodeling and updating his church. He called me this morning to come get some cast iron pipes that he had removed when he upgraded his plumbing and sewage. After i loaded all that he had piled up for me ( about 1100 lbs im guessing) he asked me to come look an old piano that he wanted hauled off. It was a typical upright piano that you would see in most churches and i told him it would be no problem. He then showed me this organ. It is a yamaha electone and he said it was a $10,000 organ when they bought it new in the 70's. My question is have ne of yall ran across ne thing similar and if so whats this thing worth. The good news is he doesnt want a dime for it so im not risking ne thing im just wonderin how much i should ask for it.

I would get the model # and Google it to start with.

If you can't find a buyer as is, remember to check parts prices for the speaker inside (as miked said) and the amplifier unit inside. If it works and it's the vacuum tube type it can be worth a bit of money on ebay. People use them to build guitar amps.

I got a cheap organ one time and I really enjoyed taking it apart...not much money in mine....just a boatload of communication wire....but it was fun. My petals weren't brass...hope yours are !!!

You need to be careful when a clergyman offers to show you his organ.
