In a personal residence, is it technically possible to set this console up with good stereo speakers instead? (Is it aesthetically acceptable?) Is maintenance a significant issue for this era and model? Thanks for help from anyone familiar with this model!

When service is needed on any organ these days it will be difficult to find a deal. I've seen some organs set up with a good pair of studio monitors and they sounded pretty good.
