All of these organs have valuable components like top octave dividers,
nice key beds, spring tanks, etc. If one is going to the rubbish then
get in there and rescue parts.

Some AH people of a certain age may react in horror to home organs given that
many of us were stuck with them while pining for a real synthesizer. Or
they may have had parents that built them from kits over a span of years.
For some, the only reason to have a home organ is as food for the
trebuchet in the garden.

Some of the Solinas had in built string synths or even mono synths. These
are the ones to watch for. These are worthy of salvation.

Still, I just grabbed a Welson rock organ for 4 Euros from the Red Cross
and I am going to keep it. Its a good platform to improve my playing
technique.

If you have the space, and it looks good, then go for it. No one will
ever again make top octave divider organs. There are thousands of
them going to the tip every year and at some point there will be
few left. So if one wanted one of these beasts, the days are
running low.
