Alec, you are to be congratulated on presenting this in such an entertaining way. I understand stop mechanisms, but for those watching who don't or didn't, this is a wonderful layman's terms approach. Thank you. Best wishes. 😊
Well I for one enjoyed this and look forward to the next one . Air brush is a good idea by the way, and I agree with whoever said " if it ain't broke don't fix it". ps: I'd get or make a bigger work bench. Keep em coming 🙂
I suppose it depends on definition. We tend to recognise the Theatre Organ by the style of its design, stop tabs arranged in a horse shoe arrangement with pipe work designed to emulate an orchestra etc. But another definition is that any Organ installed in a Movie Theatre/ Cinema is a Theatre / Cinema organ. I can’t recall the exact venue at the time of writing this, however there is a classical style pipe organ, draw stops etc, installed in a theatre here in the uk. A very early example, pre dating any Wurlitzer Theatre Organ. I suppose you could define it as a Theatre Organ.
You are very wise, I have always said "if it aint broke, don`t mend it".🙂

I’m pretty sure that electro-pneumatic action is credited to Robert Hope-Jones himself, actually.
