In September of 2012 I purchased a Rodgers 321 off of eBay. It had led a rough life but was complete with both speaker cabinets, price was right and it was only about 250 miles away.

That was an easy trip to pick it up. We did manage to pick a day that allowed for major rain from the time it was picked up until we arrived back in Meridian, MS. We did take tarps and wrapped up all and had no problems.

The goal was to create a 3 manual VTPO with enough resources to really see what can be done on a budget.

The console was completely gutted and all that was kept was the bench, pedal board, console, keyboards, stop rail and back. Everything else was either sold on eBay or junked. That netted enough to pay for the organ and the trip to pick it up.

It is amazing that the parts will bring much more than a complete instrument.

Follow us through a pictorial trip to the conclusion of the VTPO 321.
