Rodgers Organ Model 890 -- Three manual classical/church model from 1980\'s:
$3050.00

Refurbished Rodgers Organ, model 890 in honey oak, built in the 1980\'s, with five (5) full-range speakers -- a mix of M10 and M6 units -- and one non-Rodgers woofer cabinet. Six-channel amp is built into the console. Deluxe matching bench with custom back-rest. This one has the expensive and luxurious wooden keys. Drawknobs and rocker tabs are of the lighted type. Capture action features lighted pistons.
We need the room in the shop and have decided to let this one go far below the price we\'ve been asking locally. At this price there is no delivery, setup, or warranty. We cannot pack or ship. You must bring your own truck and do your own loading. This organ has been thoroughly refurbished in our organ shop and would be selling for three times the price if we were doing a full install. This is your chance to get an incredibly low price on an organ that really works, and do your own delivery and setup.
The 890 was one of the largest three-manual classical/church AGO organs built by Rodgers in the analog period. The technology is the most advanced used in analog organs and provides more tone sources, more discrete stops, more independent stops, more voicing capabilities than any other analog organ ever built by Rodgers or anyone.
Extensive Rodgers American Classic specification, fully AGO and suitable for all types of organ playing. View the pics of the drawknobs and coupler rail to see the large and comprehensive stoplist and coupler set. In the pics you can see the vast number of voicing and leveling controls. There is a thumbwheel level control for every single stop, even those derived from the unit ranks. Some stops have note-by-note voicing and level. The lowest octaves of the 16\' and 32\' stops have note by note leveling. Characteristics such as \"chiff\" and \"air\" and \"puff\" are controllable to suit your taste.
This one was built early enough in the production run that it has all \"LC\" oscillators, from the lowest to the highest pitches of all ranks. This gives it far more stable tuning than the later production run, which substituted the cheaper \"RC\" oscillators in some or all ranks.
The organ is in perfect operating condition in that all oscillators and all keyers are working correctly. There are a half dozen or so of the drawknobs that have become sluggish for some reason. If we were selling it locally for retail price, we\'d replace these knobs. But we\'ll leave it to you to have that done. We\'re including a box of spare drawknobs so you can even do the job yourself if you wish, or have a local tech do it for you. At least you\'ll have the needed parts.
Console is almost perfect, though there\'s a ding at the right of the pedalboard socket and a scratch here and there. Other minor wear, as you\'d expect from a used console. But it actually looks quite beautiful, as you can see in the pics.
