Yeah, but does it rock ?? What about longevity ? Will it hold up to 2 or 3 roadies ? Can it be restored? Or is it a throw away ?

Interestingly enough, I just restored my 1956 C3 (sn 60786)and 74 147. IT (they) were on the road from the time I bought them in the spring of 1974 until 1986. Prior to that the organ was in a church since built.

Moved it totally by myself for 2 years. Not a problem. Never, ever stopped once. I did have to replace the lower rotor belt, once. House entertainer in the same place for the better part of 4 years - Mostly, 7 nights a week. Never failed to start during all those years. Always rocked. I have both of them in my living room now and they are both even more atonishingly beautiful now than the day they were made. And, play and sound amazing. Imagine that at 51 years old (the organ, not me) I'm older. Wife won't let me move it to the studio. She makes me use the XK3 there.

I can't imagine I'll be able to do the same with my Tyros in about 33 years. But who know's ?

PS: I working on the Rhodes now.
