MAKE AN OFFER - ANY OFFER !!!

Up for sale is a good vintage  1920's KILGEN Church Pipe Organ with a vintage 1940's M.P.Moeller organ console
I'll try to describe it the best that I can.
Was made between 1920 and 1940's and looks like it has either 16 or 32 stops, you could tell better from the pictures.
it was working when we removed the console from the church and put it in storage, the pipes are still intact within the church here in Steubenville, Ohio.
Only a few years ago the motors where professionally rebuilt, the leathers where replaced and the organ was gone over to be put in good proper working order.
buyer will have to remove the pipes and all parts related to the organ except the facade pipes.
the console is out and ready to go.
if you have any question and need to talk about it you can call Dave at 740-424-0908.
Funds are needed to upgrade things within the Church and expand the music ministry.
the organ console,pipes and parts are being sold as-is with no returns or refunds.Thank you

Organ  was re-lathered around 1980's, has rebuilt motors around 2005, has 27 ranks of pipes, has about 1300 pipes and is a 1920's vintage Kilgen organ with a Moeller console., years ago it would have cost around 500.00 a rank, I was told that now a day prices would be around $20,000. a rank,there are 27 ranks of pipes, that comes to about a half a million or $ 540,000.00 dollars to build this organ in today prices.
so as you can clearly see, the buy it now price of only 6500. is basically giving the organ away.
