Mark, I'm not a professional organ tuner by any means but have an old 3 rank Wickes set up and running in my home. If you feel like it, I would appreciate anything you could tell me about how to buy parts (I found Arndt in Iowa, that's it so far) and if you know of any books, in or out of print, on pipe organ technology. I really am doing just fine with this instrument, especially since the electric action is easy to figure out, but wonder what the best order to go in might be when tuning by ear. I am also interested, academically, in all kinds of musical instrument technology past and present.
