Seek Player for Residence Pipe Organ
By Dick Beery

Please note that I am posting this to both the PIPORG-L and MMD lists so
the information is pretty general. I have been working on player pianos
as a hobby for about 20 years.  Pretty much self taught.

Its always been a dream to have player pipe organ and I have recently
built a music room with that idea in mind.  Well I found the organ
finally and will be moving it sometime during October.  Its currently
crated up in all sorts of pieces and looks to be a fun project. It does
not have a player mechanism so I am looking for recommendations and
sources for one.  Preferably one that needs rebuilding...

Now for my main question!  I know I wanted a pipe organ and I really
enjoy them however I am a novice on their operation just like I was on
pianos 20 years ago.  I have joined ATOS but haven't been able to attend
any meetings yet.

I need recommendations for suitable reading and technical resources.
I need to get educated.  I realize that this is a multi-year project so I
would appreciate any advice/info anyone can give.  I need to learn what
all the different stops mean, different types of pipe chests,  electronic
relays, etc.

I am an electrical engineer by trade and love working with my hands so am
confident about doing the project provided I can find enough sources of
information.  TIA to anyone who can help me.
