Default Re: Miller Organs from Norwich

Hi all, I have just acquired a Miller organ from the family of a deceased gentleman in Melbourne who had it for over thirty years and played it until he died. When I looked at purchasing it I pulled off the back and was surprised to find it was older than I thought and had valve oscillators. It still works. The nameplate has on it:
"The Norwich Organ"
"Musical Research Ltd Norwich"

I believe Miller used this trade name on some organs.

I have no interest in retaining the old sound of the organ and my intention is to gut it out and convert it to a digital organ as the console and keyboards are solid and good quality. However I came across this thread while doing a bit of research and I'm wondering if the organ has any historic value to anybody. It would be a shame to dismantle it if it is a rare machine.
