GET IT...Think about this.  A normal C2 should go for about $1,500 or up.  It should not cost that much to get that fixed.  Email these people and ask them how much it could cost.  Contact@TrekII.com

I work on organs, restore them for my own joy.  You need to find out what motor is messed up, but for $400 dollors for a leslie and organ thats a steal.  Also $1500 for a C2 is a little steep in my book, these things go for $800 all day on ebay.

God bless

Description  (revised)  

Hammond C2 Organ and Leslie Speaker, black, sold as is. Was working but not recently since stored in basement. May have motor that needs repair. Excellent price for handy person.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Oct-22-03 at 15:09:33 PDT, seller added the following information:

Leslie model # 147. refinished in semigloss black. swell and great, 61 keys. 9 pd 2 sets of 9 drawbars. internal preamp only. one tone generator, custom precussion module. well maintained. used in military church in virginia.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Oct-22-03 at 19:13:44 PDT, seller added the following information:

Electrically everything seems fine except for main motor. There is a slight, expected hum from the leslie which is normal. The organ can be played with both switches in the on position until the first is flipped down into the normal running position. This is when the main motor and sound fade and stop. No grinding noises.

an expert has informed me that this organ is probably a CV. So, for the purists, this makes it more valuable even with the motor gone. Thanks!

Sounds to me like the run motor is gone, or maybe the switches are wired in wrong.  I'm not sure how much this would cost to replace.  Also the owner says this may be a CV.  A CV is less valuable than a C2, it is not quite the same as the B3 line of organs.  What you need ask is how much you are willing to put in the repair of this organ.  The good new is that hammonds basically always can be repaired.  I found a D series organ that was sitting outside in the rain for months, low and behold with a little work I have almost fully restored it.  The best thing is to contact a local tech and ask him about the reapairs.

God Bless
