Tom Dimock ([log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask])
Born: 1948
Address: 270 Thomas Road, Ithaca, New York 14850
Occupation: Technology Manager at Cornell University
Computers: Mac LC, Mac SE (the SE is dedicated to the organ)
Organ: Basically a two manual Austin, with some original pipes
and a lot of pipes from other sources. Three ranks playing
now, about fifteen eventually...
Piano: Steinway OR (minus the player action :-( ) plus a bunch
of upright players.
Musical skills: essentially none.
Organ projects: the Austin is fitted up with a MIDI interface
jointly designed and built by me and Larry Chace. Eventually
it will be built up into a homebrew theatre organ, with lots
of percussion, the Steinway OR, etc.
Question: This organ became available at a price I could afford
largely because the maintenance on it was getting to be too
much for the church it was in. In particular, it had been
redone in Perflex in the early 70's. As a player piano
restorer, I have the skills necessary to do all of the
re-leathering. The problem I have is getting the old Perflex
off. None of the tricks I use on player piano stuff seem to
work - it won't sand or scrape off, heat doesn't help....
Has anyone found a reasonable way to get this gook off???
