Vintage Synth Repair

Hi everyone,
Hope you may be able to help. My friend has finally agreed to sell  
his G101 organ. The organ is in very good shape and plays wonderful. 
The only repair it needs is minor, a wire has broke loose from the 
line out jack and needs to be re-soldered. I've offered him a fair 
market price but he feels it's worth more. So, I was hoping that you 
may prvide some figures in black and white, so he can see for himself. 
Not trying to steal it from him, but don't want to over pay...... Your 
thoughts?
Thanks! Ray

It would be nice if E-bay offered a consumer price guide of past aution
prices for matters like this.

The only reason the G101 goes for over-inflated prices is because Ray Manzarek of The Doors used one. Unless you play in a Doors cover band, there are plenty of combo organs at 1/3 the price that sound just as good.

Just to clarify: I wasn't suggesting that all combo organs sound
the same - they don't. But why does a G101 (or a Vox, for that matter)
sell for 3 to 10 times as much as say, an Ace Tone? Is it because
an Ace Tone is inferior to a Vox or a G101? No! It's because Ray
Manzarek was never seen playing one. That was the only point I was
trying to make.
