[HAM] BC tremulant oil threads (again)Hugh brooo at shaw.caThu Oct 12 13:23:15 CDT 2006
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 >If you can tell me where to look inside the beast I will attempt to >get to it behind all the stacks of junk, and take a look for you.
