I could use some advice from people who have replaced their console and needed to get the old one moved out.
I ordered a MIDI console from Organtechnology to replace my Ahlborn-Galanti AG3200, which functions as both a Hauptwerk console and a digital organ. I wanted 4 manuals and more easily replaceable electronic components to go into retirement with.
So we need to do something with the AG3200. I'd rather not have it hauled to the landfill, and would be happy to give it away to somebody who can use it. They'd have to hire a piano/organ mover with the right dolly, straps, and pads to safely move it. There are 3 brick steps down from the front porch to plan for, too.
I bought it new in 2003. There are a couple of parts that need replacing: the swell to pedal coupler tab lightbulb and the music rack flourescent bulb are out, and the fast-boot battery pack needs to be replaced so it takes a few minutes to power up. All can be ordered from the General Music parts dept in Illinois.
A real defect is that only 7 of the 8 external stereo output pairs work, limiting it to 14 external amp channels if used as a digital organ. Not an issue as a Hauptwerk console. I tried replacing the output board, but that didn't fix it.
There is no local dealer support, just parts.
Any ideas how I should go about finding a potential home for this? Location is Woodstock, GA, 40 miles North of Atlanta. It's available now.
Thank you.

P.S. I've already rejected the option to make it into a big flower pot.
