For disbelievers, I have posted a photo over on

alt.binaries.pictures.radio
showing a miniscule section of a 1972 vintage pipe organ relay with
hundreds of
conductors of white DCC conductors.


Tell me about it!!

Back in the 1950s I helped restore a pipe organ
that was removed from a movie theater. The
guy removing it just wanted to scrap the pipes for
their metal, but died shortly after he started the
process. A friend got it free, just for getting it
out of there. This was a four manual Wurlitzer.

All the cable bundles had been cut with an axe!!

It took a whole summer to buzz out *thousands*
of wires and get two ranks of pipes playing on
two manuals.
