nice that you put the question to everyone...if you have the time and energy to spare, i would say restore it the best you can. then later modifying it would be cool, once you have a fully working organ to start tinkering with, i think.
cool take on the song, seems to me an underappreciated one
It's a GEM model P, from about 1966. It is also known under another sobriquet: VOX JAGUAR! If option 2 turns out allright, you'll have in your posession a classic from the 60's!!! Search for 'Vox Jaguar schematics' , they're identical except a for a few resistor values. Good luck and DON'T THROW IT AWAY!!!!!
I have thought about making a little trautonium controller for my home build synthesizer modules. I have most of the materials including the important roll of resistance wire.
I also would agree on hod-rodding. As a friend of theremins, I really would appreciate if you built a theremin controller into the organ, which plays a selectable interval. So you could avoid fixing the keys ;)
If the smell disappears, I would prefer option 2 or 3. Coffee powder can dissolve bad odors. But I don't know if Coffee in the organ makes the situation better! ;-)
However, I am waiting for a good song played on this Hot Thing!
Found the exact same keyboard in a garbage 14 yrs. ago. My ex and I put it in our place (heavy!). We had no room for it and didn't know how to make it work (severely damaged) and put it back by the garbage with a note that said "fix me, I'm cool". The next day we found these kids breaking it into pieces! Felt awful and screamed at them! :( So if you fix it, this lady would be so happpppy! Wheeeee! (the only difference between the two keyboards is the one we had had push buttons as well).
Personally, I would restore it to original condition. Then you can "hot rod" it by running it through external effects while keeping it stock. Great music, by the way!
on the other hand, I don't think this organ will sound good, whatever you do. But, Organfairy, you fixed a lot of organs, I guess for you this is a piece of cake.
Thanks for your video .. :D
I think you should keep it

I think you should restore it! actually if you can make it work and so, I could be interested in buying it.
But I think it's a bad idea to hot rod it!

You're right. It seems that VOX had this model produced at many different plants in Europe and even in America as a kit - a HeathKit to be precise.

Or, even better: you build 2 or more trautonium-/tannerin-like controllers into there. This would be easier to play.

Pls HOT ROD it - make it sound freaky!
I love to restore originally (cars, bikes, synths,organs) but I love to pimp too :-)

I got some good advise from the cleaning lady at work on how to remove bad smells so that problem is hopefully taken care of.

I am a conservationist. I say restore it and bring back its dignity. Perhaps it has something left to offer

Trean! Nu vet man ju hur den låter i orginalskick, men inte i en "de luxe variant". Du får ursäkta svenskan, men som sagt, 3!
