Halloween 2009 - Haunted Pipe Organ (Animated)
We acquired this 1960's ElectroVoice electronic organ from our neighbor for $20. It had been in her crawl space for years and unfortunately wasn't functioning properly
when it was put back together. We decided to turn it into a haunted pipe organ animatronic. When it is finished, the keys will move up and down by themselves as if a ghost is
playing the organ. We will fashion fake pipes and dress it up to look like a pipe organ.

This is the electric organ before any modifications. |

All of the keys and electronics sit on a drawer that slides out the back. |

All of the electronics removed. |

Here are all of the electronics. Some neat vacuum tubes here! One of them says "Made in the U.S.S.R." Keep in mind this unit was built in 1960. |

Here you can see the chord section of the keys removed, along with all of the electronics underneath the keys. Each key as a metal shaft with a rubber "boot" on the end of it. |
