Wind testing today with the Uniflex system hooked up and 14" regulated wind in the console. The hissing you hear in the video is just noise in my workshop. The console actions are quite silent other that when energizing the magnets. So we will be on to the art case finishing later this week.

We are coming along with the Hollywood console rebuild. The basic structure was very cut up and compromised when it was originally installed in the Detroit Hollywood Theatre and it took us awhile to reconstruct the base floor and back molding framing. The restoration of the wind actions and the tubing were a challenge. The center action box from the factory was not serviceable with the metal tubing attached. We cut the middle from the metal tubes and added rubber tubing in so the action box is now able to be tilted up to get to the magnets for servicing. Next week we should start the testing with the Uniflex Switching System. Then after we will finish the painting restoration of the art case. We are hoping to be able to deliver it to the theatre at the end of June. Then we will be on to pre-erecting the chambers one at a time in our workshop. The project work is one day at a time going forward!🤓
