PIPE ORGAN SALE!
HUGE amount of pipe organ parts, pipes, and accessories!
Please have a look!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As I approach age
60, my beloved wife thought I should spend a little more time PLAYING the organ,
rather than WORKING on it! Hence the pipe organ SALE!
This is an Allen Theatre III Plus EX DELUXE Tom
Hazelton Specification! A real beauty, and I get to PLAY it, rather than
REPAIR it!
YIPPEE!!!
Some time in the near future, I promise I'll put some
recordings of this beautiful organ for your listening pleasure!

- Theatre Pipe Organs
- In their heyday, they provided the musical accompaniment
for the "Silver Screen". Today, they're
beautiful instruments for playing music from almost any
era. They don't do too well for "rap", though, but then,
what does?...
- Reed Organs
- The earliest of the "home organs", they are
today a wonderful reminder of a time when almost every
evening was a "Family-Home" evening.
- Automatic Musical
Instruments
- Before Compact Discs... Before Stereo Cassettes... Before
8-Track tapes... Before LPs... Before television...
Before radio... Before the Victrola... there were
(Drum-roll, please...) Player Pianos, and their cousins;
band organs, fair organs, dance organs, orchestrions, and
more.
- Roll Scanning
- A new interest that goes right along with the Automatic Musical
Instruments: Preservation of the music rolls upon which these instruments
depend.
- Roll Punching
- Related the roll scanning, this neat tool provides a REASON to scan
rolls! It allows NEW rolls to be punched! This is another new
project that will gather steam as I move along!
- Antique Gas Engines and
Pumps
- Today, we have 100 horse-power gasoline engines that
weigh only 150 pounds. Built in 1919, this 6 horse-power
Fairbanks-Morse Model Z Gasoline/Oil (Kerosene) engine
weighs a whopping 900 pounds...
- Outboard Motors
- My favourite is a steam outboard motor. Yes, you have
read that correctly. My other outboard is a late 1930s
Champion
- Antique Clocks
- Antique clocks have fascinated me for many years. Alas, my present
site is too small to hold "Cuckoobob's Clocks" and "The Poor Man's Clock
Museum". Email me if you have any questions, or if there's a photo
you'd like to see.
