Conn Organ
Eagle Academy
model number and I don't want to have to take off the back panel unless
its absolutely necessary. So could someone tell me where I can find
pictures of conn organs.

Have you tried looking beneath the keyshelf?
Conn often put their identification plates on the bottom of the
keyshelf at the treble end of the organ.
Most Conn Model numbers begin with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. The ones
beginning with 7, or 8, are the Artist, or Classic lines. The smaller
the first number the smaller the organ with the exception of the 650
series 650, 651, 652, and 653, which were three manual theater style
organs. The models in the 7xx and 8xx series required separate tone
cabinets. The others could also be use with separate tone cabinets in
addition to their built-in sound.
If I can be of help, email me directly at hald...@modempool.com

Why? What could possibly go wrong, other than (in the worst
thinkable case) losing a vintage Conn screw?

Is it a console or spinet? 32 note pedalboard? If so, it might be one
of their Artist models.

Does it have an external tone cabinet with it?
What kind?
It all makes a difference.

The value depends on it's condition. I have a Conn Artist 720, which
is similar.
Are all the tabs working? All the bass pedals? Most importantly, does
your organ have the infamous elastomer coated bus-bars inside? I
recently replaced mine. If your solo voices are scratchy sounding,
you'll want to do the same. Shouldn't affect the flutes or diapason.
How's the internal Leslie sound? Does the furniture look good?
If your organ needs work, I can refer you to a terrific technician if
you're in Southern California.

should have those parts to fix it.

If all the keys work, and 2 pedals don't, that's probably a contact
problem, easily fixed and not something that will require replacement
parts.
If your instrument is in excellent condition as you say, and with the
external Leslie, you do have a valuable instrument, but only to those
that appreciate it.
I don't know what a store would give you for it, but they would turn
around and sell it for five or six thousand, I think.
If you were to sell it to a private party, I'm not sure what you might
get. But the 32 note pedalboard will appeal to classical organists, as
will the the bright tones the Conn is capable of. You have an
excellent "Bach" organ.
A Hammond enthusiast would like the flute tabs, but it's lack of key
click and percussion probably rule them out as buyers.
