Please, help find a home for this pump organ!  It is free if you will haul it.

It is a 1908 Farrand Company Detroit, Michigan pump organ. The upper part comes off. So it is in 2 pieces.  Not unlike moving an upright piano and a bookcase.

I was told it was used originally in a church. The hymnal from 1940 that was tucked inside it is stamped Christ Church 1305 E 47th Seattle 5, Wash.  

It was last refurbished early '90s.  Still plays but needs work to reach full potential. 

It has a squeaky  pedal which  caused me to seek tutorials online.  There are great ones.  This would be a satisfying and doable project for someone handier and maybe younger than me, even non- musician DIYers.  As for the squeaky pedal, do not use oil of any kind! It would ruin it. The instrument is all wood, fabric and leather inside.  Carbon powder or silica (tutorial said) for the sqeak. 

Currently located in North Seattle.
