The organ comprises two 5-octave manuals and a 29-note pedal board with radiating and swept pedals.
One manual and the pedal board have been fitted with contacts, mounted in a console,
and connected to a 3-department generator using the M1088 integrated circuit. 
The console has provision for the second manual but this has not been fitted.
The electronics includes power supply and a loudspeaker output amlifier, and a small external loudspeaker is included.
Provision exists in the electronics for filtering to simulate stops from the square-waves or staircases from the integrated circuits, but this has not been implemented. 
The manual and pedals at present have fixed sounds.

Would suit an electronic/organ enthusiast, or might be attractive for the manuals and pedal-board.
Needs saving as for the tip January 1st 2013 if unwanted

SOLD ON EBAY 01/11/2012.  MY ATTEMPTS TO DELETE FROM THIS BOARD FAILED.

Hi,
having two five octave manuals and a nearly full pedal board is a definite advantage.
it would help to know approximately which part of the country the Organ is located in, as transporting instruments isn't always the most straightforward thing to do.
the Organ generator ic might be an SGS M108,
there is a data sheet available at
<http://www.milton.arachsys.com/nj71/pdf/m108.pdf>
the ic was used in a couple of home organs including I think the Maplin Matinee Organ.

Hello!
The organ is in Hove, East Sussex.
The whole instrument is dismantleable and the pedal board (only needs unplugging) is the largest single item.
Please note the second keyboard is available, but not yet fitted.
All the best, Brenda
