MMD Archives June 1996 1996.06.07 05 Prev  Next Re: Proper Restoration By Philip Jamison Speaking of proper restoration techniques, I wonder how far one should go in restoring fairground organ facades? For instance, my Gasparini facade is quite warped. I removed the carvings (those that hadn't already fallen off!) and stripped them of a dozen coats of paint. I toyed with straightening the warpage, but I believe it's too deformed, so I wonder now if I should replace it with a plywood base or use glued-up solid lumber as was the original. To this, I'd glue the original carvings. Any thoughts? Philip Jamison West Chester, Pennsylvania (Message sent Fri 7 Jun 1996, 22:30:44 GMT, from time zone GMT.)
