Hi Al,

Before you get too far down the road with the Carillon project, check
out http://www.inspiredcode.net/ for a product called ChurchBells, very
simple, very affordable and worth at least a "look see".  Support is
also top notch.

Best,

Good morning all-

  Well, along with my "other" ventures like my Carillon project for
church, (replacing a schumelic with a computer), which is almost done
and my own 35D repairs Which are going well, I have an extremely
important project i would like to discuss.  Do there happen to be any
former Moller builders/technicians in the group?  I would be glad to
hear from you as I have a short list of minor issues that i need to try
to temporarily fix on our tubular pneumatic organ.  The original intent
was to tear the instrument down and refurbish it over the summer but
that is going to wait until next year.  Of the only repair people in our
area, one is extremely expensive and suggests the instrument is ready
for the scrap heap or spend $20,000.00 to repair.  And the other, well,
lets just say that they have worked on the instrument before and botched
it up a bit with sloppy quick fixes.  I spent 2 solid weekends last year
fixing swell to great couplers and ciphers so i was at least able to get
t
 he swell to be used, (the great div. was the only useable division at
that time).  My intent is of course to completely refurbish the original
instrument.  The console is in bad shape, Ivory falling off all over the
place making it difficult to play, etc.  This is a very small
congregation so big money projects are out of the question.  As a matter
of fact, I'd be surprised if the leather costs would be covered when i
get to that point.  I was told $500.00 was approved so you see I would
rather keep the original instrument in tact so i am stuck with repairing
what is there.  As it is I will need some of that money to replace quite
a few trebles that i was not surprised to find flattened by someones big
feet.   

  My questions mainly revolve around the console action as the chests
all seem solid at this point and very responsive, so if someone can give
me a shout, I'd love to ask a few questions and explain my symptoms.

Thanks -  

Al
