Hello,
I have a home organ, with a Meidinger blower. This blower gets noisier all the time, and it takes longer and longer for it to get "at the right speed", so I'm wondering what I should do:
*should it be oiled? I seem to find a small opening (with a very small "lid" on top of it) on the front side (not the side where the fan is), I suppose I should fill this with oil?
*Are there other places to be oiled (on the fan side, perhaps?)
It seems strange to me that there is nothing that looks like an air filter on the "intake" side, so maybe the part with the fan could be full of dust?
*I managed to take of a circular plate on back side (= fan side), and I was able to remove some dust there.
Should I go further to open the inside? With just the back plate removed, I can not clearly see the actual rotating fan part, to check if there is dirt/dust overthere...
*Other suggestions that I can try to "cure" my blower?
*Are there ways to make it less noisy, even if the blower functions correctly? Or should it be rather silent on its own, if well-functioning?
Thanks,
Stef
P.S. I can post pictures if needed.
