[HAM] There might be someone who wants this

[Ted Thompson]

Someone's boyfriend having a bent knob?  I'm not touching that.

(rimshot)

On the matter of the "tension adjustments"...

I totally agree with Scott on this one, those adjusters are FAR better then
the bend and fiddle type of spring used on the later consoles.  Makes it
real easy to set a custom touch too.  Many moons ago, in a former life, I
had a BC set to a light-light touch to accommodate the Sister (as in Nun)
who played it.  The organ was in a monastery that was for elderly Nuns, poor
old gal has VERY bad arthritis, the kind that twists your finger up...



Cheers!
