I saw an old Baldwin electronic organ yesterday at the Bazaar in the St Paul skyway. It had a lot of the same buttons, knobs, and stops as my Grandmother's organ that I learned on, just more of them, so I think it's probably from the same era, around 1970. It had a price tag of $234. So naturally, I had to try it out. Started in on Toccata in Dm (mandatory), and it sounded pretty good, until it came time to hit the pedals. Nothing more than a quiet fluttering sound with some sort of semblance of a D came out. I have a hobby of tinkering with electronics, you think this might be fixable? It's probably moot though, I don't have space for it.

Thanks, that's about what I thought.
Are repair manuals or schematics typically available for organs of that vintage?
