Free to a good home (or workshop)! Lowrey Cotillion model D-575 electronic organ. Currently powers on with lights working, but no sound output. For parts, repair, or restoration. You must pick it up and haul it away. I bought this organ about 20 years ago. It’s a cool vintage piece from around 1981 — dual keyboards and full organ sounds. When working it has one of the best sounds for a home organ. I got many years of enjoyment out of it.
History and issues:
In the past, it would lose sound after sitting unused for a long time. Using the included service manual, I could usually troubleshoot down to specific chips, pull them, and reseat them to get it working again. Once it was playing regularly, it would stay reliable. The last time it stopped producing sound several years ago, I wasn’t able to fix it despite trying. It powers up and the lights come on, but there is currently no sound. It comes with the bench and the service manual.
Great project for someone who enjoys electronics repair, chip-level troubleshooting, or harvesting parts. Might be perfect for a hobbyist, synth enthusiast, or someone looking to restore a classic Lowrey.
Important:
This is a large home organ. Although not quite as heavy as older home organ models, it is still bulky and heavy enough. You will need help and a truck/van/SUV to move it safely.
Please contact if interested. First person who can pick it up gets it.
