Holy moly - is that a Lowrey?

Yes. As far as I'm concerned, it is "The Lowrey". The same model as Garth Hudson played with The Band back in the old days.
I was looking for an organ to me ...

From here it looks like an S12 .

It does, but the spacing is as wide as a six string guitar, so I figure it was designed to be two separate necks.

A friend of mine inherited this steel homemade steel guitar, and brought it to me to try and resurrect.

I need to know what suggested tuning for each neck? I'm thinking an E tuning and a G tuning, ...

I do like Max's idea though, maybe make the glove electric with colored LED lights and a heating/cooling system for those seasonal outdoor gigs

Run with it, Ian. I just have the ideas...I don't ...

I still have pins for sale.

I'd like to know about the Blanton...number of strings, necks, pedals, levers, etc.

The PSG pins are gone, but the rest of the instrument pins are still for sale.
