I'll start at the beginning so you can see how far I've come.
Starting with the 1932 Schantz organ from Massillon, OH. This is what I had to start with.

This is the console front of the Schantz organ. I am still using the shell of the console but the guts have been removed.

This is the back of the console. You can see the pneumatic action here.

Clip, clip, clip. This is what's left of the De-wiring.

Stop rail contacts. They are still in use in the new organ.

The guts of the console are now hanging above the organ as conversational pieces. (Classic Artwork)

These chests were for the 16' Pedal Bourdon & 16' Lieblich (bottom 24 notes)

Meet Mr. Blower. 3 phase, 2 hp and 1700-1800 rpms. It was a job finding out how to run 3 phase in my home but I did find a great solution.

4' pitch Dulciana rank. I sold these pictured but kept the 8' octave.

This is a Vox Celeste at 4'. I sold it as well.

Unda Maris 4'. Sold.

This is the Gross Flute from the 8' pitch. Sold this as well.

These are the bellows that I currently still use. They are 3'x4' in size

This is the swell chest which held the Flute, Celeste, Cornopeon, and Salicional pipes.

This pneumatic box split the flute into 16', 8', 4', 2 2/3', & 2' pitches. It was in bad shape though.

These were some of the 8' octave pipes, some I sold, some I kept.

Cornopeon pipes were in good shape but sold them because I thought they would be too strong for my organ.

Great chest in foreground and the console just behind it.

Check out the shape of the leather here inside the Swell chest.

Again, inside the Swell chest and more leather damage.

The individual key action was in good shape but the leather which controled each stop was shot. I never knew consoles were supplied with wind until this monster rolled in.
