    You going to try and straighten out all of those bent pins, Larry? Vintage can only fetch vintage price in good working condition.



    I would actually use a pair of needle nose pliers with some cloth around the tips to try and do that and they may have some better than scrap value.

    There are some old Hammond organs that have some of those long white chips with gold all over them.

    I wish I would have seen this post earlier. There was just an old Hammond organ on craigslist for free Anything else inside these worth it?

    Anytime you can pick up old Hammond organs, do so. They also have Palladium and Copper

    Here are some pictures:


    The contacts on the bussbar may be Palladium, Palladium with nickel, or other metals.


    These are the copper strips found under the keys, the wires should be pure Palladium

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
