Shape of the organ chamber can be seen. Various components can be trial fitted.
Main chest. Axel and Per-Olof wondering about the best way to go on. Johan took the picture.
We had no idea about how the percussion tower was looking when the organ was in the theater. Most of the mounting lumber were gone.
The solution was the Internet. I put out some questions and got a lot of pictures. With help of these we built up a percussion tower to what we thought it once looked like. |
Here is the "Toy Counter" lifted to position.
|
Mounting of the Glockenspiel aided by a crane. The crane is an integral part of the tower and is still in place. Nicolai Johannsen is controlling the wire rope.
|
Most of the parts in place. Electrical and winding not yet done. From top Glockenspiel, Xylophone. Chimes, Toy Counter, Chrysoglott.
|
Wiring. Axel with encouraging words.
|
Power supply and distribution. This elegant work was done by Axel. One original Wurlitzer panel and one copy.
|
Pipes beginning to show up.

Restoration of swell shades.
The shades had been shortened for some reason when the organ was installed in the City Hall. The original installation in the Skandia theater only had one set of shades.
New longer ones were manufactured by Tamano AB.
