This is an organ we got from an antique shop in Sudan, TX. It really works well, only problem is the 4' stop knee lever broke and will need to be repaired. It totally folds up into a case like a trunk. Not sure of the maker or date of this organ...maybe Estey?
That organ brings back memories of my time in the service durijg the Korean War. It was a field organ used by the Chapkin's Service during WWII, and Korea, to my knowledge. I helped the Chapkin's Assistant set one up in the Chapel Tent several times/ These were used in almost all fields of battle. I have one with original markings, but it doesn't work, but I'm sure could be restored, I'm sure.

Great video; I hope you finished to repair it. Greetings from an harmonium and reed-organ lover, Belgium :) Did the instrument has a serial number ? It can help to discover which manufacturer it is.
