But... fun for putting up in the garden and playing in! Maybe useful to someone? Please collect from Kempston.

Free: Yamaha Electone A-55N organ (Kempston) Expired 1y - Lovely Yamaha Electone organ from 1981, complete with keyboard cover and stool. All in good cosmetic nick (needs a dusting) and all working EXCEPT... the upper keyboard, which doesn't work with any of the Upper Filters, and has very weak output when using the Upper Presets. I have had a brief peek inside at the circuit board but have no idea where the fault might lie! Service manuals for this model including circuit diagrams are available for free online (I can email one to you too). It's a lovely instrument and I'd like it to go to a good home (it looks great as a feature piece of furniture too!). Collection from Kempston.
