Mike I loved the video. I love the fact that you take apart rare and unusual items. Just a tip I was trying to sell a working mobility cart for 350.00 US dollars for about 6 months and couldn't sell it. I took it apart and sold the parts on eBay and have made over 800.00 in 2 months and still have about 300 in parts left to sell. I am considering just buying things like that and parting them out. Keep up the great work and have a good night.
Scott Bragdon yeah it's funny like that. I have an old shopsmith lathe, been asking 600. parted out it's an easy 2 grand but I can't bring myself to tear it apart. works great
There's gold in that "useless old stuff", just not the obvious kind you're looking for. Buy/clearout the right organ and you can make 2 smaller organs, a bass synthesizer or midi controller, a tube amp for guitar/bass/keys/PA, a spring reverb, a drum machine and if you're very lucky a vibratone rotating speaker cabinet. I can see it all right there in that organ. If you know how you could make that into $1000 - $1500 of hipster boutique guitar gear.
I read somewhere, some of the old organs have an amount Pd instead of tinned copperwire-ends and elsewhere soldering, pls check that out! In former times Pd wasn`t expensive and of no other use (car-catalyzers appeared later).
The woofer might be a CTS branded speaker
Looks like there's some nice mlccs....big palladium in those old redish ones....
Huh I didn't know that. Thank you
The 15 speaker would be wonderful for a vintage 1974 ampeg bass cab
Yeah I know but it turned out bad when I tested it. Thank you

Wish I could have but it had water damage. Thanks for watching.
DRINK SOME COFFEE !
Yes I know, so sorry about that.

Olli M actually the only reason I went after this. I see these on CL all the time. this was a Hammond and close so I went for it
Looks like an interesting tear down Mike. lots of wire anyway eh :)
CCDetecting and Scrapping these Hammond organs are supposed to have Pd contacts.
Cool, I hope it does, that will be cool to see :)
You could probably sell the amp and speaker from this for around $80-$100.
I wanted to, the speaker fell apart to dust after a few days. I think it had been in a flood or something and then sat in a dry place for 10 years.
Next time turn off auto focus. It's mostly wrong on this video and hard to watch
My apologies. I didnt realize it was on until too late.
