Many of the early/mid 1970s to early 1980 Electone organs used parts
that the Electone team also used in the CS line. Many of the C-, D- and
E-series organs from that time will have chips, controls, slider caps, and
so on. The CSY-1 and CSY-2 have SY-1 and SY-2 mono synthesizers in them,
so they should be preserved. (Although, I would gut the CSY-1/2 of the
organ electronics and do something like a string machine with the lower
manual. ;)

The C-40, C-60, C-80..on up to the E-70 tend to have useful parts.
