Hey, all,
Going tomorrow to help a friend work on a thrift-store find: Lowrey Festival PCM organ. Best I can tell, dates from the early 90s. Googling and digging around in the lowreyforum.org website doesn't turn much up on it. Lots of service manuals available, but not for this particular model.

The problem we're attempting to address is a few dead keys. Does anyone have experience with this fellow, or know if it's similar to any others? Thanks, as always.

Are the innards electronics? Or are they old shcool (school) wiring?

I used to work on old Hammond organs. But I also am not familiar with these Lowry ones...

About to head over now to peek inside. Expecting to find a lot of ICs and surface-mount stuff... will post some photos when we know more. Fingers crossed for some replaceable or cleanable mechanical parts.
