I was given a 1973 Hammond REGENT last year from a local music store that was going to haul it to the dump. The unit was totally non-functional, yet, the cabinet and everything else was in an almost excellent condition. Hauled it home then had fun for the next three days by totally gutting it out with removal of all of the defunct electronics, dead amplifier and broken wires. I also removed the tab rail since it was in bad condition as well. I then purchase Midi equipment from Artisan http://web.mac.com/internationalartists/Artisan_Instruments/Artisan_Products.html to connect the modules to the existing keyboards and pedal. Programmed the main module to recognize the keyboards and manual for MIDI to the computer. Installed Hauptwerk and Midizer on the host computer to were, from a dead console to where it can be either a 50 stop symphonic organ or the Wurlitzer 266 organ at my disposal. A fun project that set me back almost $500.00, but definitely enjoy it now. Good luck - Stops
