Hi, Doug, At the risk of "me-tooing"...what Fred said. I've seen mostly Jencos and Mustels, with a few Shiedmeyers. They are all slightly different...think tracker organs from different makers. Jencos, being less robustly built, are more prone to wire bending problems; and, in a couple of spots, that is what you might have to do. Mustel and Schiedmeyer are more technician-friendly. I especially agree with Fred on the time, maybe even more, if this is your first one. Steve's articles are a good place to start. Two other thoughts: - Things aren't always what they seem (or, go where you think they should be going); and, - First, do no harm...(I know, you knew that.) Cheers!
