Sound Research - Vern Jones, knows the organs well and would then be a better resource if difficulties are met...

If the installer is a good tech, there should be no problem, but I am aware of a church where a good pipe tech blew two solid state chime relays, one positive and one negative, before going back to a mechanical interface.

The equipment used was standard, but using components by different manufacturers, no one knew which system woudl work, and this was documented in the literature supplied with the ss units.

I think this is an unrealistic response expectation. There are any number of generic MIDI encoding products for use with pipe organs or various brands of electronic organs. The manufacturer may or may not know about a specific organ and certainly cannot be expected to know every model of every manufacturer.

If the owner can supply a schematic, the manufacturer
would be able to determine suitability.

Manufacturer's do not normally install such
equipment--they make generic solutions and can provide
application assistance to their customers.

And since Rodgers does not, as far as I know, support
MIDI for the older organs, this is about all the
options a person has.
