Hi Jeff,
If all of the stops are working on the earphones, your problem is clearly
somewhere in amplifiers, speakers, or perhaps speaker wiring.
Good luck,
Bill

Two things going on (one of which is fixable): it’s very out of balance.
The flutes are bigger than the principals. The bass woofer will cut in and
out. My Swell mixtures do not work at all. The crescendo pedal doesn’t
fully “open” and there is little difference in Swell open or closed. There
is zero reverb (spring thing is only on one panel.). I figure most of these
have POTs (is that the right acronym?) for that. I just don’t feel satisfied
with overall sound, but for a practice organ, it’s fine. I should mention
that all stops work fine through headphones.
The other issue is size and weight. Really? Putting it up on one end would
let it go through a house door? I guess the movers I hired didn’t think of
that, but we didn’t have to since I brought it in a walkout slider into my
basement. (Took both panels out)
Someone mentioned MIDI but I don’t think this organ does. It’d require
changing out key contacts, no?

Two things...
Analog sound by itself can be rather sterile sounding...and in a living room
very dry....not attractive. Good reverb can do wonders for it. The early
spring reverb units are primitive and not acceptable by today's standards.
Recently we put a Lexicon MX-400 ($299) with its own 2.1 audio system ($299)
on a 925 in a residence and it sounded like a million bucks.
We also put the MX-400 on a 945 (digital) in a church and fed the output
back into the 8-channel main audio and the delay output into the 2-channel
antiphonal audio system (the same reverb architecture as a new Rodgers).
This took some wiring engineering to accomplish....but it's not brain
surgery.
The MX-400 has dozens of reverb profiles, but then can be "fine tuned"
endlessly and custom-designed profiles saved.
Regarding moving the 760 console....it is about the same size as a 3-manual
940, which will go through standard-size single entry doors. The trick is
to put the console on it's side, which enables negotiating narrower
doorways. On its side the console is also better balanced and much easier
to handle. Two mover guys can accomplish these maneuvers easily. FYI--we
put a 3-manual Infinity console in the basement of a residence that required
taking it down the inside stairwell that had a landing halfway down with a
180 turn, then down a hallway and through an interior door. The movers got
it in!
"We" do this stuff all the time--it's really easy....I just watch!
