[sdiy] Need organ pedals for DIY project

[Dave Magnuson]

I got my set from tearing apart a free organ...  And I lived in an
apartment at the time.  Carried that 200 pound bastard up to my fourth
floor apartment... disassmbled it, and carried it down to the trash in pieces.

It's a pain, but all the stuff was free.  I got (2) j-wire keyboards, a
footpedal keyboard and lots of neato little parts.  Now I just have to make
myself a Moog Taurus clone and attach it to my footpedals :)

Another fun thing I grabbed from the organ:  it had a built in percussion
generator (did waltz, shuffle, etc).  But it's all Twin-T drum voices... so
now I just have to rack up the tone board and add some trigger shapers and
buffers... a free 6 voice analog drum board (to be slaved off of a TR-707). 

Although it's a pain to have an organ in the kitchen for a few days, it was
definetly worth it.

Dave

PS... I was single at the time.  If your friend lives with a "significant
other", than he may not be able to leave the organ in the kitchen :)
