Pedale Coupler

Empty hole for stopknob (Bellows Signal?, Tremolo?)

All pipes except Pedale enclosed. hitchdown swell pedal at right.

Façade pipes are silent, with no languids, but there appears to be holes at 
front of windchest for a vertical slider to feed 12 façade pipes for 1-12 
of a Diapason. Obviously this option wasn't taken because the façade pipes 
cannot play.

Organ playable, in fair but worn condition. Wind pressure may be a trifle 
high as some pipes sound a bit forced.
