Anybody else own a Baldwin Orga-sonic?

I bought an old electronic Baldwin organ before I recently moved. It got loaded onto the back of a Flatbed-truck and went a good ways down the road, to about the other side of the county.

One day, while getting curious, I looked at the back and saw a little sticker warning. The gist of it "Before moving organ, take off back panel and clamp down Pan-o-ramic tone convertor". I can't really go back in time and clamp it, so I'm wondering if this would be a problem.

Among it's odd consortments of sounds and issues are:
Something rattles when you hit certain low notes (like a low F, I believe, about two or three octaves below middle C), if you push the volume pedal up with some of the, I think they're called stops, down a bit it makes these evil dissonant note, if you take the stops off it gets muted. You can't play more than one pedal note at a time or else all sounds stops, or if you play an F and a B together you get this weird, but cool "bass drum" sort of sound that randomly hits out. It sometimes makes a weird swishing sound when it turns off. Also, the accompaniment keys, with all stops down, is quieter than the solo with just one or two stops down.

It's also awesome sounding, and the keys react to your fingers a lot easier and with a lot less pressure than you'd expect, which is something I like. I just want to know, do these noises mean that this thing is going to explode/burst into flames anytime soon?
