The main wall. The two ranks mounted horizontally at the top are the Unified Tuba and Viola ranks. The rest of the ranks (mounted verically) are all of the manual ranks.

The short rank in the middle is the 8' Swell rank, which is the only rank which feeds into two tone changers thus yielding 16 stops instead of the usual 8. The changers have not been mounted for lack of a proper frame.

The two ranks on the back wall (at right) are the other two unified ranks - Tibia and Diapason.

Just another view.

And another...

The black crates at left were used to transport the ranks from Greenwood.

Another view of the main wall.
Circuit Boards 9.JPG
The Tuba and Viola Unified ranks on top. The other ranks from left to right are: Solo 4', 8', 16'; Swell 4', 8'; Great 4', 8'(a), 8'(b), 16'; Choir 8'(a), 8'(b). The unified Tibia rank is at back partially obscured by the console.

Yet another view.

View from the auditorium. You may notice a few artifacts of my rather hurried exposure adjustment due to insufficient light. The ugly plywood wall was constructed to bring the balcony up to code now that it will be occupied. Hopefully when money is available this can be replaced with something a bit less obnoxious. Even after it is painted, it largely obscures the view from below.

The main power supply for the circuit boards with distribution nodes above. The cabling is jury rigged at the moment, and will be cleaned up later.

Once we began reconnecting the cables, we realized that if the Unified Tibia and Diapason ranks were moved down, and the Diapason moved to the left, the cables from the console could be connected directly without having the fabricate new cables and connecting them with barrier strips. On the floor is the jury-rigged power supply for the couplers and the audio amplifier.
