Run Through of the CONN Model # 645-Theater Organ

This video is for those who love the older CONN organs. It is a simple run though on my CONN 645 Theater Organ. The organ was salvaged from the Trade-Winds Auction House in Ottawa Lake Michigan. Mechanically it is superb! There are no issues with thee capacitors or the Vacuum Tubes. It does have a mixture of both the tubes and the solid-state Electronics inside. She produces 450Watts of pure smooth sassy sound. Also has a rhythm section pre-installed and wired for the foot pedals.

I just saw your video and was wondering if you have that keyboard connected to the organ via midi?

To answer your Question Yes i do have the Casio Keyboard hooked to the Organ Via Midi. it took a lot of work and many hours running through the Schematics for the Organ ad finding out where the Midi Connection would Tie in. Both the Organ and Keyboard sound great together.

@phildoethedildoe Now wouldn't the midi connections only tie into just one place- the keys via a set of contacts separate of the organs contacts? There is nothing in the old organs that function digitally. Not even the LSI organs of the mid and late 70's, but especially not a tube/ transistor organ.
