Most of you know this, but on each page of thumbnails, click the small image to see a larger version.
Also, there are rudimentary navigation controls at the top of each large photo. I'll do better when I have more time. This should be approximately in 2018.
During the first field trip with three students, we disconnected the four unified ranks and the five pedal ranks. (Eventually there will be an on-line glossary for those unfamiliar with organ terminology. In the meantime, you can check out the glossary maintained by the American Guild of Organists.)
Three more students went the following week and almost completed the disconnection of the eleven manual ranks. One tone changer had to remain since the electronics cabinet will have to be disassembled to gain access to the screws securing the changer.
During trip 3, the electromechanical instruments were disconnected (glockenspiel, band box, tubular chimes), the main amplifiers and many of the speakers were disconnected, the mounting frames for the individual ranks were removed, the few components remaining in the electronics cabinet were removed, and power supplies disconnected. Due to rain, we could only bring back as much as would fit in the station wagon.
This trip was primarily to sort out the cables, which we did not complete. The large cabinet containing the tubular chimes and several woofers was brought back as well as a couple of smaller cabinets, the Band Box, and the frames upon which most of the circuit boards were mounted. One more trip will be required before the console can be moved.
