just got a new Hammond E-100. restoration advice needed. Please

[bryce_HUH_what]

Hello, i just received a free hammond e-111 from a local salvation army church. the organ had been sitting in a closet for about 20 years, and it squeals when it starts up. everything moves, but needs oil, and the tone warbles alot. some keys are out of tune, even when only the 8' drawbar is out, the notes on those are super low. some harmonics on some keys dont even sound. how do i access these components to get this organ working again. (ps, i have already put hammond oil in all four funnels, and i have a re-cap kit on the way) Thank you for any help in advance.

Recap, then post again with update. How experienced are you with electronics?

Keep turning it on and playing it, moving the switches etc, it will come back to life.

hi, it has been a week since i put oil in the oilers, but the TWG still squeals like crazy. is there an easy way to get into the front of the organ to get at the TWG without desoldering. i think i want to manually oil all of the bearings. any advice.

I never thought I would say this but........spray the generator with wd40 followed by more Hammond Oil, or wait for it to soak in
20 years is a long time
