Subject:Re: Chop question

For anyone interested, I am going to sell my Numerous Complaints Chopper. I just had it gone over, the C/V scanner cleaned, and the whole organ calibrated and "fine tuned." It has a Trek pre, dual 122 outputs, a line out (which is clean and hum-free: I use it to drive my Speakeasy which really kills in this set up), 2 expression pedals (one is a spare), a Trek Cycle Regulator (no more out of tune generator gig worries), a custom made padded cover and a wheel tray for transport. When this was shipped to me, it was done through Roadway for $100, from Atlanta to Chicago. I'm guessing the price wouldn't be much different now. If interested, price is $2750. A full size 22H converted to 122 is also available with custom padded cover for $1600 (black). Pics are in the CWSG "rigs" section.

All this talk about the XK3 being 90 or 99.9% there makes me wonder
if I shouldn't go the chop route. My interest right now is the
traditional jazz organ trio/quartet/quintet.

I think a great rig would be one where each manual is a separate
piece, to keep the weight down to what one person can easily lift.
You would set the lower manual on a stand, and you have built a case
or whatever such that you then can lay the upper manual on top, and
it "snaps" in. Now this is where my knowledge is really weak: For
whatever wiring goes between the 2 manuals, you have a bus or some
way to make an easy connection, and you plug that in.

Is this completely impossible? If so, what would be the absolute
minimum weight of the keyboard/tonewheel/drawbar unit, assuming you
were willing to design a case strong enough, but as light as possible?

All comments will be much appreciated.
