Artisan - never heard of it! But organ kits are familiar to me, as here 
in Germany, from the 60s to the early 80s they were also pretty common - 
perhaps you have heard of the German organ kit companies Wersi and Dr. 

teens - but instead decided to buy me a Commodore 64 rather than a Wersi 
Orion kit!

Wersi still exists, but now they sell only ready-made (and very 
expensive) organs, as nowadays except for some analogue organ fanatics 
nobodys want to take on year-long construction work in the hobby 
basement room!

With Hammond-like drawbars or more theatre-style?

As I just mentioned analogue organ fanatics - there exists a forum 
dedicated to analogue electr(on)ic organs from Hammond's A series to 
mid-80s semi-digital Technicses and Yamahas: http://www.analogorgel.de - 
it's mostly German-spoken, but speakers of English are equally welcome, 
we also have an English sub-forum!

Perhaps we can meet there and talk organs...

See you in Khyberspace!
