That bottom board took a direct hit in the middle. It attaches with three
screws and the mercury switches are behind it on the same board. ( I had to
repair one of them). But I looked inside the organ from the front and that's
where I found the red cable with the many y connectors that aren't connected.
So I don't know if they have to be connected or what. I would think they would,
but I don't know for sure, unless I look at another Rodgers that is roughly the
same model.
Rich
P.S. Thank you very much for getting back to me on this. I have to tell you, I
emailed a frind of mine in New Jersey, this afternoon, for he, too has a
Rodgers three manual in his home and it is beautiful.
This organ came into my home today, after sitting on a flat bed truck outside
(in a large wood box) and now it sits on a special stage built especially for
it and I find myself in total awe as to this instrument, it's beauty and I
cannot help myself in wondering where the instrument was, what church it was in
and who played it, and even the music it must've played. The instrument is
awesome and now it sits in my cellar, in a special room built entirely for it,
awaiting some of the finest speaker systems, where, once again it will play
beautiful music once again.
Virgil Fox is playing the CD player and I am in what I would say is "ORGANIST'S
HEAVEN"!!!

Hello Richard,
I own two large Rodgers analogs myself....Yours
should be built along the same lines as mines...
a) There is no connections between the pedalboard
and the wiring; if you look at the front of the pedalboard notes, you should
see there a black magnet. Each magnet activates a mercury switch on the
opposite side of the board facing the pedalboard.
b) The console is connected to the amplifiers via
one cable for each "division" of your organ....Try the people who sold you
the organ; maybe they still have those....Otherwise, you can make them with
3 conductors sheilded cables (the sheilding is used as the fourth
conductor). The connectors may be hard to find. You have to respect the
prongs numbering here....you can't mix them!!!!
Best,
Jean

> I ust installed my Rodgers 32-c in the house this afternoon. I have five
100watt amps to help it make beautiful music. Now then, a fast scan of the
rest of the organ tells me that I'm missing a few things. In opening upo the
back, I find brown female five prong plugs, but no male ends. Is this
something I should have? I believe they are, but I don't know where they go.
Also, I took the brown board in front (bottom) off because I needed to
repair it and found a red cable with many wires that are supposed to be
attached to the connections for the pedals, but aren't. Is there a schmatic
out there somewhere, that I can get my paws on to figure out how to connect
everything?
