nobody bothered replacing them burned out bulbs? ;-)

[StuartMulcrow]

Yes we do replace many of the bulbs if we have spares. Trust me, with that many bulbs its a full time job replacing them. You can spend hours going through them all and say an hour later you're guaranteed to have at least one or two out.

[theorganguy]

oh good, well I guess these are older type bulbs... maybe some day soon they come up with LED-lightbulbs that can fit the sockets in place... that will extend their shelf-life quite a bit

[StuartMulcrow]

Yes, the electronics on the organ are from the 1960s when the organ was enlarged by Voigt so they are getting very tired and in need of attention.

To be honest I think that we will be forced to have all the bulbs replaced eventually as unfortunately these bulbs will soon be extinct in favour of energy saving ones.

Started volunteering at the SFC, playing the Wurlitzers etc .. just got onto doing the mechanical side of things, must say this organ is lovely ! some nice books in the back. Does the roll player still work on it ? noticed them last time I was down,

[StuartMulcrow]

Hope they do. Would be a great shame indeed to be forced to spoil the character of the organ with modern lighting.

[theorganguy]

just give it some time... they now already make energy-saving bulbs that look like your regular old frosted light bulbs... before they made regular light-bulbs that were flickering like candles!

Soon you will have LED-lightbulbs that look just like the ones used here...

[Johan22333]

i think led bulbs woud take the historical feeling away

[kirmesorgelfan]

yes, that's right.

I've always wondered how this would sound on a Fair organ. Very nice.
