Hughes United Methodist Church - Rebuilding the Console

The console was by Moller, 1960.

Ivory keys

Standard electro-pneumatic combination action.

Here the console is in our clean room, with all the pneumatic equipment removed, and the main solid-state panel in place, ready to be connected.

Here’s the pneumatic equipment that was removed.

Keyboard being rebuilt and fitted with new contacts.

Keyboard being regulated.

New stopknobs and coupler tabs being tested with the new combination action.

As the new solid-state systems don’t take as much room as the old pneumatic systems, room was created on the left side for cable storage and for the organist to store music and shoes.

Pedalboard being rebuilt.

Then the work began on the console platform. Here the Oak Parquet flooring is being applied.
