Starting Motor

This is the other end of the generator. The small starting motor is located in the centre.

The unwanted modification can be seen here also, the block of wood attached to a metal rod. This is useless, and will shortly be removed.

The front of the generator has a red label with the serial number, this is the same as the serial number on the outside of the cabinet.

Note also the springs holding the generator above the wooden shelf. This is to prevent noise from the motor being amplified through the wooden casing.

The generator can be bolted down onto the shelf to prevent damage when transporting the organ. One of the four bolts can be seen at the bottom right of the picture, just behind where the letters '4KLU' are printed on the generator frame.

The four suspension springs are adjustable. In this organ, the springs at one end were too low, and the generator was dragging on the shelf. This would result in unwanted noise from vibration of the motor, and any oil put in would run to one end only.

Obviously, the organ itself must be perfectly level before adjusting these springs.
