I think the true entertainment value was when the operator went around 
to change a turntable, with a pool of freshly spilt beer at his feet.

Though when I read "Though the  keyboard doesn't make any sound, each 
key applies 120 volts to each of twelve 1/4 inch jacks on the sides  of 
the organ...." ,  I imagined twelve guitarists being played by a bad 
keyboardist/electrician:

"Oowh, owh, owh, owh.... owh, owh,... owh, duude."
