Actually the modern look does not go down too well with a lot of organ players, as they prefer that they look like an old sideboard. (This is one of the reasons Lowrey’s sell so well)

Your correct about prices of old organs, (Although there are a few exceptions) in that they are usually worthless, (Particularly if they use old analogue technology) and expensive to repair. (A lot of people still love fixing things as a hobby though)
