Sure could have precious metals as well as components with vintage resell value. We have 12 Conn organ breakdowns with dozens of photos, in GEO's Facebook group.Listed as: has a beautiful Leslie sound system, a real spring reverb system and good speakers.
No idea of age or model number. Original images were good but pasted here look poor - don't know why. Seems a shame but is it a good scrap candidate?

Here in SoCal there's a free organ posted somewhere just about every day.
Very few vintage organs are desirable for parts to restore others. Plus, good luck finding someone left that knows, or wants, to fix them. I repair tube amps, radios and some test equipment and stopped doing the work because it's time consuming and the cost of (my) labor has gone past the point people are willing to pay for it.
I can't imagine anyone willing to do the work on a famous Hammond is even economically accessible at this point by most people; the complexity of electro-mechanical organs like a B3 has to make it a very expensive proposition to get repaired.
Most old organs, not all, are basically junk these days. They have been replaced by digital keyboards which do their best to emulate the analog sounds from the best old organs, like the B3.
I was referring to the post by eaglekeeper where it was suggested to sell the parts. My post was basically inferring that there's no resale value in old organs whether whole or for parts. So, may as well scrap them. Should have quoted his post.
