It may not be such a wee problem. My suggestions is to go to
www.mitatechs.org and find a tech close to you. It could be a supply voltage
problem to the pedal circuitry, or a bad pedal LSI, or something in the auto
chord circuitry that has killed your pedals. Unless you are good at
following circuits and schematics, call a trained tech for this one.

all the pedals are dead. I am a 'by ear' piano player and really do not know
my way around this Organ. I do not have a owners Manual for it. I like the
sound of the Organ and hope I can get this wee problem solved.

Thank you for your response, Chet
