Our church bought a used Lowery organ, it has been well taken care of, we are wondering if it needs to be tuned to match our new piano
Electronic organs typically do not require tuning
A pipe organ produces sound via hundreds or thousands of organ pipes, each of which produces a single pitch and timbre. The goal of tuning a pipe organ is to adjust the pitch of each pipe so that they all sound in tune with each other.
SOURCE: Lowery Tube Organ needs a tube
The "F" key contact is probably stuck on rather than a tube problem. It MAY be a mechanical thing OR it could even be contamination such as a staple or paper clip that has fallen into the key area. Look for something obvious around the key contact. Most any competent electronics person should be able to fix this one.

Probably needs the filter capacitors in the power supply replaced.
The electrolytic caps dry out after years and become ineffective in filtering to get pure DC current for the electronics.
Other less likely possibility is a broken ground wire someplace within.

Hello,
The problem is an accumulation of dirts inside the knobs, all you have to do is use a methylated spirit to clean the affected knobs. pour just little of the methylated spirit unto the knobs and then slide the knob up and down like 5 - 6 times and allow to dry for some minutes.
With this your appliance is ready for use again.
Hope this helps......
