There's no better organ music than the black gospel church music from Thomas Dorsey (father of gospel) and the south side of Chicago.
A close second is the organ music from the original Chicago Stadium and a packed Blackhawks game.

I was just reminiscing the other day how much I loved my old organ.
About a decade ago I heard that our old grade school secretary had a Gulbransen organ she was trying to give away. So I called her up & said "Hi Phyllis, I heard you want to be an organ donor?" There was a bit of a pause, before she started laughing.
Also seriously.....organ is in like.....75 percent of recordings and most people don't realize it.
So, the speaker box is a Baldwin Tone Cabinet, Model N2. The Baldwin is a Model 5A.
Just to add that.
I used to "play" my grandmother's pump organ. That thing was cool to mess with as a kid.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Hard and busy times for you I'm sure.
G/L with your organ relocation project.
I tried to look up the N2 speaker but can't really find anything about it. Can you take some photos of everything for us? especially the inside of the speakers. You probably need to join an organ forum and the first one that came up for me was https://organforum.com/forums/ . A search for the Baldwin Model N2 Tone Cabinet came up with this thread post. https://organforum.com/forums/forum/electronic-organs-midi/home-organs/29261-how-to-fix-a-baldwin-organ#post377032. It looks like quite the speaker.
Good lord, that N2 looks like a beast.
The 5A sounds like it might be kinda interesting as well. All sorts of electromechanical stuff in there.
Organs used to be everywhere but are indeed more scarce today.
If you want to hear some current B3 see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgX-MoDVqgI
Still not easily accesible, but this is the inside of the box.
I would say you have at least a couple of very desirable Jensen alnico speakers if you wanted to build an open baffle set of speakers. You need to get your head just a little further into there and take a photo of the complete set of numbers on the speaker flange to pin down the Model #. I bet the speaker in the organ is no slouch either.
You are going to have to join audiokarma.org: Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums and start reading and asking questions. Check out the Tube Audio and the Speakers forums.
The whole speaker would make a great mono juke box setup. You need another hobby, right?
Ebay.com: Jensen vintage alnico speakers
Something like this.
Well, I have those numbers by chance.
They are P15N Jenson speakers.
Not that I have huge time to play with it, but it if doesnt move, maybe Ill make a box, something with it as a record player. ionknow....
