    I inherited this home organ from my parents. It has not been used for about 15 years. It is a Yamaha Electone MC600.

    It is in very good condition but has 2 faults.
    The lights do not come on and the sound is distorted.
    Sometimes it is ok but then you get a whooshing noise.

    The keyboards all function with the accompanying drums and auto chords.

    I reckon any organ repair place could get it back to 100% without much difficulty. The service manual is available on line, I'll show you where and forward the url.
    My guess is the power supply has a component which has aged and needs replacing.

    It has a stool and instruction manual.

    It was the top of the range model when bought, about 1985 and really is a lovely piece of kit.

    If any of you out there want it you can have it for free.
    You will need a van and two people to pick it up.

    I live in Sunderland and will give you a phone number if you contact me with your contact details.

    I have half a dozen other keyboards and don't need this one.

    I would love it - just wish I had space for it in my house!! Too many animals (fish and reptiles) otherwise I'd have taken it off your hands in a second

    np, its one of the few places where you can still buy and sell without the usual timewasters. Looks like you found a home for the Yamaha!
