antique sewing machine update, and another stupid purchase

I blame society for this addiction. It is the worst addiction you can imagine. Anyway? To bring you up to date on my "great" sewing machine find at a yard sale, I gave the entire pile to a musician friend of mine, whom swore he can make a couple really cool guitar effects pedals out of some of the parts. Moving on, I feel kind of guilty once again. I kind of got this rare instrument, for practically nothing, from a "motivated seller", yeah,i close this deal for about a lil under $50.00. Envious? I am now a proud owner of a rare NOT, pump organ, popular for about 2 weeks max, during the eighteenth century. What a beaut too, I gotta tell ya. The wood alone is worth a whole lot. Don't believe me? Fine. Google it. "reed organ" or "pump organ".Ok how many times did you read "free you just pick up"? At least one million or two? How many people are trying to play this sort of "Savior of the pump organ"? Countless guys are pleading for all of us out hear to have a heart and assist him in saving this poor, wretched little organ" from death, than they actually plead for us to "Adopt it" as well? I've read, "Oh this rare artifact is destined to grow in value," Bla bla bla etc, my quistion is why are they giving them away than?Gold is destined to go up in value too, nobody really struggles to give gold away. Right when I added this rare instrument to my holdings, I too quickly noticed why folk don't like it. #1 It's UGLY. #2 It sounds UGLY. Have you ever been annoyed by a thing, or piece of furniture that always seems to be in the way? YOU WAY? So you find yourself wanting to kick it often? Or worst? Well if this is your thing, may I strongly suggest a reed/pump organ purchase, or just get one of your own for free, theres many to choose from. The hypocrites that are attemting to create a "buzz" or demand for these gems, are offering the one they themselves own to you for free, So HELLO? What do I do, I jumped on it.Now I may possibly need to fork out 40-50 bucks to scrap it.
