Hmmm ... the cab sould be cool for installing shelves and stuff but I wouldn't mind the electronics and wiring and stuff.  There's always something cool that can be made from them.  My hands shake a lot now so soldering et al are a challenge but I've been playing with electronics since the mid-50s and a ham since 1961.

WB6EOQ in 1963, WA9JTF in '64.  RIg got old in the early 90's, and circumstances didn't allow for new expenditures.  The organ is a Thomas Celebrity Royale, the last one Thomas made, literally.  I think it was made out of rejected parts from the get-go.  I might look a salvaging the Leslie system, and the audio out, but the rest of it need too much work to do much with.  I could, at the time it let out the smoke, play for maybe half a minute before my left hand went numb, half a minute later the fingers wouldn't work.  If the case was real wood, it would be worth keeping the wood, but it's fiberboard, heavy and dense, but still fiberboard.  Two full manuals, full pedalboard, it eats a lot of floor, which I don't have much left now.  Still got my Vibroplex Original, spent a lot of hours wiggling that thing, back when I was running SCR274N transmitter and 31 whole watts.  Think that was more fun than when I went up in power.
