Well, it was junk-on-the-curb day here in Ladner, British Columbia, and
while driving around looking for computer monitors and TVs to donate to the
recycling drive at my elder kid's school, I came across a Farfisa Silver 404
organ.  It looks like its in reasonable shape, but the upper manual doesn't
produce any sound at all, and the lower manual has so much noise and hiss
that it's unlistenable.

I'm going to rip the keyboards out of it and salvage the semiconductors and
the nifty LED button switches, unless someone here tells me I've got a
highly sought-after collector's item on my hands...
