UNstuck!
After Mr. Peterson looked at my project again and I switched my random resistors under the printed variable resistance out with actual variable resistors, my electronic organ finally worked. I took a video of it, but unfortunately a lot of the pitches are too high to really be heard clearly on the video, especially because there is some sort of humming and other noise in the background. It did work really well, and three of the capacitors were close in pitch, so the "song" was decent. One was extremely high and didn't really fit with the other frequencies because the capacitance was in a much different range. I wish that the video had turned out better, but I already took apart the organ and with exams this week I will not have time to film it again. Now, my independent research project is almost complete! Thanks for taking time to read about my struggles and eventual joys with electronics!
I will e-mail my final post shortly.
