[rodgersorgan] Re: Dead pedal



The reed switch could certainly be the culprit, although this would be unusual 
in an organ as new as a 940.  Others have
already mentioned alignment between pedalboard and console.  Do all the working 
pedals speak about halfway through their
travel?  That would be a clue that might help diagnose the problem.  Don't 
overlook the flat magnet on the end of the
pedal - occasionally one is damaged while the pedalboard is off the organ for 
some reason.
