This is funny and sad at the same time.

"The electronics actually look relatively OK"

so much creative writing by the owner

Answer to " is there a warranty ? "

Dear buyer ,

I warrantee that the unit is currently non-functional and that the casework now has dangerous bits of wood and nails sticking out of it. If it doesn't not meet these conditions, you're free to bring it back at your cost and put it back in the bottom of the stairwell just as you found it.

Hmmm . . . even the end panel facing the camera, the end that wouldn't have had any contact with the stairs or side walls, still looks pretty banged up.

Still, I had a M102 that we were unloading off the van one night when one of the guys lost his grip at one corner resulting in the organ falling keys-first onto the pavement. Fearing the worst, we took her inside, plugged her in and it was as if nothing had happened. Built like a tank.

I too have owned a Hammond B-3 and Leslie 122, it was a monster and like lifting a fridge around from gig to gig. I was saddened by seeing the damage to this organ but can state that mine also fell from a truck, broke several straps, bumped along countless crappy walkways and had numerous drinks spilled on it from drunks wanting a request. Dispite all of the bumps & bruises, it worked like a charm and never let me down. I have always regretted selling it for lighter keyboards which you can carry around in a gig bag. Hopefully someone will buy it and fix it up.
