[HAM] BC tremulant oil threads (again)

Thanks for the kind offer. It's deep in the bowels of the beast. The 
main TG run motor, which drives the tremulant, is at the very back 
left of the organ when looking in the back of it. The tremulant has a 
cylindrical bowl-shaped case that covers its contacts. In between 
that case and the run motor is the tremulant gear case with the 
mystery oiling configuration.

In the picture I posted: http://members.shaw.ca/brooo/tremulant.jpg , 
I'm showing only the tremulant gear case opened up bolted to the run 
motor behind it. At the very back of my picture, you can just see the 
top of the flywheel that attaches to the drive springs that drive the TG.

I think the usual little cup with oil sponge is attached to the 
chorus TG's run motor which is closer to the back of the organ 
(closer to you when you're looking in the back), so if there's a 
thread, it would have to go from the chorus run motor's oil sponge to 
the tremulant on the other run motor.

Thanks again,
Hugh
