There was a close relationship between Ruffatti and Rodgers for a number
of years. Rodgers later purchased the Larry Phelps organ factory in
Erie, PA, which was the original Tellers Organ Company factory. Rodgers
later consolidated all pipe organ manufacturing at the factory in
Oregon.
Rodgers has recently entered into an alliance with Pinchi of Italy, who
just purchased the Stinkens pipe factory in Tuscany.
During the time that Rodgers and Ruffatti were associated, Rodgers may
have ben independent, then purchased by CBS, but the association with
Ruffatti ended prior to the ownership assumed by Roland, I believe.
The first true attempts at combining pipes and electronics can be
reported on by list member Henry Tellers, whose father (I think)
combined a Principal Chorus with the Conn electronic organ back in
vacuum tube days. Some of the these organs are still playing, some with
new Rodgers Consoles.
Ah, but It have forgotten the subject here. With the deterioration of
the Ruffatti Console, Rodgers was employed to build a new console,
correct me if I am wrong here....
