pretty much. it's not like we're talking about console tonewheel organs.

speaking of which, i've got to say this was a bit disheartening:

"I found a 25 note pedalboard at a closing church that was with an  
'ancient' Hammond organ. We junked the organ and kept the pedalboard  
and bench."

wether or not you think a console tonewheel is inferior to a pair of  
PSR-5000s controlling a Sound Canvas is entirely a matter of taste.  
but throwing the organ out? that's just 60 different flavours of wrong.

i have extra pedalboards lying around all the time. in fact, a couple  
weeks ago i made someone take my spares who was picking up an organ  
from me. i put these on the Hamtech list and couldn't even give them  
away.

if anyone here needs a pedalboard, let me know and i'll hook you up  
with one eventually. i won't ship it, but if you pick it up you can  
have it for free.
