The process of rebuilding the stop action of a console
is demanding in enginering and workmanship. This is the first major point
in the process.
You can see, below the keydesk, all the electronic controls
for the couplers and combination action. The console shell, made of solid
Maple panels is waiting the arrival of the new STOP JAMBS and the NAME
BOARD, which mounts over the keyboard. |

|
|
|
The new STOP JAMBS and NAME BOARD
are now in place. THe empty shell begins to have real shape. The STOP JAMBS
have been drilled and are now ready to have the 110 DRAW KNOBS mounted in
them. The new Name Board and Stop Jambs are made of solid Mahogany. The
Name Board has all the Manual and Division stop Couplers mounted. The controls
for the combination action and the Swell and Crescendo pedal indicators
are also present |

Bill has taken the Stop Jambs from the console
and has mounted all the Draw Knobs. He his with the Stop Jamb for the right
side of the console which has all the Draw Knobs for the Great, Positive
and Chior mounted. |

This is the left Stop Jamb. This carries the
Pedal (L) and the Swell (R) drawknobs. The REEDS and EFFECTS are engraved
in RED. All FLUE STOPS are engraved in BLACK. At the bottom is the main
control for the Peterson Combination Action. |

This is what the rear of the Stop Jambs looks
like. This one is connected to the TEST JIG. |

This is the NAME BOARD being tested. The Couplers
are TILTING TABLET style. On the left side are the 4 DIVISION STOP COUPLERS
which allow the player to set up Pedal combinations controlled by the Manual
pistons. This is something you will not see on other consoles in Korea.
Another "First" for TOC. Also, we have provided 8 Pistons for
each individual manual division and, in addition, 8 General and 8 Pedal
Pistons. Again we have set a new standard of versitility and flexibility
for Korean Organists. |

Finally, assembled and ready for shipment from
the Peterson Factory, the console looks Very Impressive. The 4 expression
Pedals are also somwhat unusual. Far left is the pedal which controls BOTH
Swell and Choir together. Then the Chior shoe, The Swell shoe and on the
far right, the Crescendo shoe. All these will keep some one pretty busy.
The Pedal Board, Chamber Panel (Which controls the stop and key action magnets)
and the Music Rack are already crated. The Console will arrive in Korea
sojmetime in Mid-November. This Console, the largest Draw Knob console in
Asia, with the blower, Also a Giant Machine, will be on display shortly
after it's arrival. Watch our Page for that schedule. |
