    Magnificent old church organ.  Regrettably it's top value is probably $500 - 600 if everything is working perfectly.  Please list your location so prospective buyers can consider the transportation aspects of acquiring this beauty.  Seeing this post makes me sorry my collection is out of space!  As a side note, I have a 720 and many of the design elements in the cabinet are comparable.   My cabinet comes out as a straight box rather than the tapered sides and the sound screen is a solid screen rather than the slats.  The bench is an exact match -- I guess the company thought this was a classic look.
