[rythymroach]

looking for the proper place to post a request for some more knowledgable guys who can assist me in getting a organ restored to operating condition. I have a wonderful old organ with tubes in it and just got it from the origianl owner, it has been stored for many years and is pristine in it's condition, it was stored becaues the organist at the church that gave it to me reported it stopped working and they updated to a newer model and let this one sit for 10 years right on the church stage. it was given to me and I really want to hear this thing make music again. please advise on who, and how to get some feedback and help with this!! thanks you!! I discovered your website accidentally when I was searching for help. I'm really glad this site exists!! thank you for your time!! Regards Greg House fisher Iliinois 61843

Jim Williams is our Guru for gulbransen analogs here on the forum. I'm going to push this into the active list in hopes he will be online soon. I too have toyed with some gulbransens in the past with a B and a D, but I'm not familiar with the C that must have come in between. If you could add a description of the keyboards and pedal board (spinet or console/ 13, 25 or 32 pedals?)

If 32 pedals it is possibly a D and not a C? Where did you locate the identifying information on the organ? The old Gully's are very reliable and fixable. I gave away mine to make room for more organs, but I miss them very much. I'm sure you will enjoy yours after some repairs.

Thanks for your question. Some great photos of old gullys can be found on his website: http://www.jimmyandsharonwilliams.com/gulbransen/

Greg,

I already posted questions for you aboutyour Gulbransen C in this thread:

http://organforum.com/forums/thread/102735.aspx

Is there some sort of problem with the original thread? I think this is the third individual public thread about the same topic, along with several private messages. Please advise. I will be more than happy to help, but please go back to the original thread and post the results of your tests based on my suggestions. Without being where you are and looking at the organ myself, I have to rely on your responses to my questions to best assess your situation. Tanks.
