I was amazingly lucky, I didn't need to pay anything, I found one in my grandfathers basement, it was behind 30 years worth of boxes, its 140 years old or so yet in perfect shap, it belonged to my great grandmother so I've been told, she got it when she was 7, and even back then it was old, keep in mind, she died in 2006 and she was 100 years old.
A little bit. My friend John made a pump strap for the left pedal out of duct tape which greatly enhances the sound a lot. There's still a few reeds that don't sound which I haven't gotten to because I haven't figured out how to dismantle the damn thing to get to the reed board. I also suspect that a few of the stops are not fully working and will need to be tinkered with as soon as I figure out what the hell those stops supposed to do.
The organ sounds great. Time to post more videos of it? :)

Its got a beautiful sound for its age.... Same as with old detuned piano, a charm in a way.
