Greetings,
I just wanted to respond to one more point that has come up here and elsewhere.
While it is true that the big organ is as dead as a doornail right now, it's silence is by no means the fault of the relays or switching equipment. The organ has been severely neglected, abused, and damaged. A good-sized chunk of the organ was playable in 1998, when the relays were getting ready to push 70 years of age. Not bad, eh?
