Although I may appear to be a "new boy" I have been reading for years these pages.
A relatively new computer has not helped one bit as all previous details of this project have been lost.
However, I am making an appeal, as for years I maintained a wonderful Compton (3 man/Pedal) in Aberdeen, St Nicholas Church.
Due to a re-development plan and the need to excavate for historical reasons the entire internal church floor, I was invited to remove the console which was downstairs, many hundreds of feet from the organ proper in the gallery.
This was duly done but ten years later many things have changed.
There now seems little chance that the organ will ever be restored, but having never been cleaned or altered since installation, this would be a tragic loss.
The reeds are extremely fine, being 2 complete families of oboes and trumpets.
However the 3 manual dark oak console complete with stool, pedalboard,and ivory key covers is still in my store The stops are the illuminated type, but quite a few bulbs are " blown".
At present I am looking for advice as to a possible Compton museum.
Are there any interested parties who may be able to help ??
