Default Re: 193 valves in 5 days - rescuing the Miller Classic IV organ

I see the console has half a dozen thumb pistons. Does that mean that the tab stops are motorised?

The size of venue isn't really determined by the complexity of the console or the tone generators. It's the amplifier powers and the sizes of speakers which have to match the hall. Maybe only a larger venue could have afforded such an extensive beast. But if you compare it to a typical church's pipe organ this valved machine is tiny and cheap. Pipe organs take a lot of maintenance and periodic rebuilds. You rarely find one in good tune across all departments.
