I have an old Farfisa organ with a busted stand piece, a broken,
almost-unreplacable potentiometer and a circuit board out of place.  I've
been saving it to give to anybody who'd cart it away (I'm in Ansonia,
Connecticut.)

The two things that make it seem redeemable are the keyboard, whose action
was really sweet last I tried it, and the bass pedals.

So, back to the thread topic (sorta), is there any hobbyist kit for
converting an old Farfisa's bass pedals to MIDI?
