I got one off eBay years ago with the intent of starting a Doors tribute band. The band never happened but I still have the organ. It needs some TLC. Can you restore a Gibson G101 combo?

What would cause a tine speed up? Sincerely, Dave Hi guys,

Don't play it as it may dig up the hammer felt. Replacement reeds are the answer, but there is also a chance that the overall condition of the piano will result in them breaking again - if the piano is out of adjustment, which honestly is very possible after several decades of use and it probably never being re-regulated.
