A four manual (USA - Minneapolis) here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIDI-Organ-Console-for-Hauptwerk-Virtual-Pipe-Organ-Allen-Organ-case-/271951771495?

Appears Randy already MIDI-fyed this one.

Interesting info read on the eBay notice for the above 5 manual console.

Not fully midified. Just keyboards, pedalboard, and swell shoes. Not drawknobs, couplers, pistons.

For a fee, he will finish MIDIfying everything else. I bought a 3 manual from Randy when he first started out. That one I had to do it all. It's still playing so I must have done something right. :)

How about this Rodgers Organ 1974 Carnegie Music Hall 5-Manual Console Only for Virtual Project
(Notice the text in Bold font below.):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rodgers-Organ-1974-Carnegie-Music-Hall-5-Manual-Console-Only-for-Virtual-Project-/261994054372?roken=cUgayN

Built by Rodgers Organ Company

Carnegie Music Hall 1974 Custom 5-Manual Classic Organ Console Only

Includes Matching Pedals and Bench

Does Not Include Original Analog Tone Producing Circuitry (Located in Separate External Cabinets).

Great Console for Virtual Organ Project. Not intended necessarily for restoration to that of the original product, although the analog circuitry is still available

The Console includes Five Manuals and 129 moving stops

The Organ Specification was provided by Virgil Fox and was the Prestige and State-of-the-Art of Rodgers Products

The installation utilized just a single coax cable between the console and three roll-a-round cabinets (7' High, 3" Deep 7' Wide) containing the analog electronic circuits via early time sharing technique (Pre-Midi)


Contained in the console, in original condition, are all of the stop action control, power supplies, couplers, memory capture system and other usable circuitry that can be utilized in the virtual world.

Local Pick-Up Only, but we can recommend a local and cross-country shipper.

Made in USA

Many videos of this organ being played at Carnegie Hall by Virgil Fox and others can be found on the internet.

This console looks really familiar, like the one that was in Doncaster.
