Hi!
Some years ago I rescued the Ralph Jones Mini Metro Movable. This instrument was an analogue beast with free phase generators, home made keys, stop tabs, and a design that would fit a three manual instrument of large specification into a small car. It was an extraordinarily ingenious design .
It has now gone to two pupils of Charterhouse School in Godalming interested in Organs, Electronics and DT and whose father is a lecturer in electronics at Surrey University. It will be wonderful to see and hear this instrument up and running and being useful again and I hope we might see them at EOCS meetings before long.
Best wishes

Hi
Good news David. I hope that the long-term future of this unique instrument can be secured.
Every Blessing

Dear Tony
Yes - the enthusiasm of this family and their combined technical know-how should secure its future. It was riddled with corroded bus bar contacts and other such problems and will be a lot of work but the boys are willing and able - and have the time!
They're near Guildford so I'll put them in touch with the Lloyds in due course.
Best wishes

Thanks David
Hi!
It's with the greatest of delight that I received the following video this morning:

Ralph Jones was doing some interesting things on the transients . . .
It's a great pleasure to hear this doing such wonderful things already and also finding people with enthusiasm for electronics without an immediate urge to convert everything to Hauptwerk.
Best wishes
