Miriam doing the valve repair work
Each of the 1400 or so new valves has to be tested;
better now than later.
Dennis is addding the common wire to the valveset.
Air pressure regulators. One of the originals is in the
foreground and a new one is in the background.
Another new regulator. Pretty yellow springs!
Here we see Miriam soldering connectors onto the ends of the
cables.
Lots of cables to be temporarily placed out of harm's way
Miriam is tending to her new wire jungle all labelled
of course . . .
The sound system, too, is moving forward. Here we see
the wires Dick and crew have strung from the organ area
back to the rear of the church, terminated here in XLR
connectors.
Looking into the rear area. Notice the pipes have been
removed, the support structures are unpainted and the
driver electronics on the far wall are yet to be wired.
A closer view of the drivers
Closer yet.
Looking down on a chamber. Drivers in background
Looking down on a chamber. Note the hardware - screws,
spacers and washers to hold the boards in place with the
option of future disassembly for repair.
Closeup of chamber top. A closeup of the hardware along
with a nice view of the burnished mounting holes for the
pipes. These holes will accept the soft metal bottoms on
each of the pipes, making a good seal.

The yellow-painted pipeset was moved back to the wall
on the right, making room for a set of pipes immediately
below and in front of it.
This is how the front of our sanctuary appeared on
July 30th 2004. Note Dan in the right-hand room.
This is how the front our sanctuary appeared on
August 1st after the first batch of pipes had been
put in place.
In the rear, the wooden support structure has been
painted. Pipes are now installed on the wall above the
controller.

The console awaits new innards.

Meanwhile the sound system upgrade is moving.
Dick has mounted the rack with the power amplifier
and equalizer on a sturdy table he made to get it up to
"people height."
To support the sound system upgrade, wiring had to go
through the sanctuary's rear wall
