Things have arrived!
I am now in possession of many new things (for various values of ‘new’).
The piston rails have been drilled (see photo; unfortunately I didn’t take a photograph of the pre-drilled rails, but trust me, they didn’t have as many holes in them).
I have enough shiny! new! KA pistons to fill the aforementioned holes. £145 worth of pistons, to be exact. Actually surprisingly cheap but Mr Norwich Organs had some unused ones in stock. I’m still thinking about which ones to engrave.
I have some contact assemblies to replace the few damaged ones (and have been given instruction in how to do it).
I have some pedal felt for when I eventually get round to the pedals.
I bought some glue, desoldering braid, and a new pair of snips, since mine have lost their snip. That was another £19.
The next step is to replace the damaged contact assemblies, which I hope to do on Saturday if the braid arrives. I will also be ordering my first bit of MIDI kit some time in November. This must be what progress feels like.
