New Console/Solid State

[Josiah Riddle]

This may go over like a lead balloon, we shall see. I'm looking to have a new console for the 3 rank Wicks built. Also update to solid state (currently controlled from the switching in a box beginning to fail). I'm going to put a console spec below also the organ specs. The “?” means I'm not sure where that stop is derived from, maybe someone here will know. What would be an average price for that? I'm trying to figure how much to save. The chest has recently been rewired also the blower and reservoir at the same time in April 2021.

Josiah,

I don't want to be discouraging, but getting all those drawknobs from just 3 ranks will be quite a feat. You will have blank sounds and losses when playing both manuals. IIRC, the Möller Artiste went about as far with their stoplist as three ranks would support.

Best with your new console. If it's anything like what is represented in your avatar, I look forward to hearing more about it!
