Its usually a transistor or caps. They are divide down so a common flaw =
is the same note out in every octave, meaning its that specific note =
board and it has its own dividers for each octave.=20
Transistors are usually common and available. Only change what you must, =
not everything.  The tuning coils The weird stack at one end of =
individual note boards on most organs is teh master adjust for the note =
and usually very delicate and hard to get so be very gentle with them.  =
In fact do all the other things first before you muck with them. They =
may be okay.

good help at http://www.combo-organ.com.  My Briscoe is up there under =
variants Gem-P, but not my Farfisa compact Duo (wowzie of a machine)=20

 Connectors would benefit from a good cleaning, keyboards are simple =
contacts. Despite the many brands most were made in 1 or 2 Italian =
factories and rebadged for the company that ordered them.  Definitely =
get the pirate shirt and leather pants, and an eye patch! A parrot might =
be a bit much but division 6 make midi controlled halloween skulls.

Thanks for the feedback.

I opened it up and everything flips and swings away for calibration and =
repair.

The pieces of the broken keys were safely inside along with a green =
toothpick and a very old looking Dunlop guitar pick.

It is clean and organized in there. I guess I will fully repair this =
instrument with a labour of a few hours.

There is no way I am scrapping this thing; its far to nice.

So now I have a rock organ.

Now I need a pirate shirt and leather pants.
