OLD IS NOT BAD!! It's an incredible individual oscillator Rodgers 75 organ from 1972. With decent external speakers and amps this organ sounds beautiful. I've been a guitar player since 1978 and an organ player since 1996. I've built many guitar amps so I know the passion for projects. Unfortunately guitar players slobber all over vintage guitar gear, but readily call vintage organs "outdated" or "antiquated". Go ahead and listen to some old organ albums with these great organs. It's the exact same organs that are being destroyed because people have been convinced if it's not a Hammond tone wheel organ or a Lowrey DSO-1, well then there is just no use for it. The old, " I had it listed for months and nobody wanted it" routine. Well then keep it as furniture for 10 years when all the great organs are extinct. Then someone will want it. Better yet, learn how to play. It's easy to get the organ bug. Listen to organ albums for about 3-4 weeks. More varieties of organ music than any other instrument, so you'll find what you like. *The Organ Jukebox" ytb ch, and I have many organ playlists myself. Listen to Eddie Baxter Lowrey Organ albums. He's playing a full console Lowrey H25R-1 and H25R-2 model through Leslie Isomonic and Space Generator cabinets See Captain foldback site Leslie 102 and 103. You can read about 'Isomonic Channels' in the Leslie 101 owners/ service manual on Captain foldback site. The 101 cabinet was designed for the 1961 Gulbransen Rialto K ( now that's an organ! and it wasn't even that big). That Rodgers with an external Leslie makes a great theater organ. Oh well, what are you gonna do...there is a very sweet 1966 Custom Rodgers 3 manual on E b ay this week for 5OO. 2 Rodgers speakers and 1-2 Leslie cabs It's amazing!! Unfortunately it's all the way out in Carson City Nevada and I'm in Ohio. Want to hear a great 1982 Rodgers Theater organ? watch ytb vid- *Rodgers 321C Theater Organ Demo*
The iron core Allen Bradley (round units) are the tuners. If an instrument is moved or the racks a “shaken” the instrument will most definitely go out of tune.

Nice demo!
Running chords on a Rodgers analog is a feature. These sound much better when voiced properly, external loudspeakers and the addition of reverb.

did you manage to remove the Leslie and use it for guitar? Would love to see the results if you did
Had to move across the country right after the video, so I ended up giving it to a friend. Hopefully he'll make a cool guitar Leslie with it!
Do you still have the power supply?
Sorry, nope. Had to get rid of everything to move recently!
