Pipe organ now available - excellent condition ... no charge ...

[kaspencer]

Please note: the organ described on this page has now been safely relocated and is therefore no longer available.

Further to my posting under the "Organs For Sale/eBay etc" banner, I now have full details of the organ in question.
I have posted it under the "Organs in Danger banner, because it is not strictly for sale, although a donation would be gratefully accepted. Here are the details, with images and a YouTube video link at the end of the description:

We are trying to find a good home for a pipe organ which is currently installed in a very small Methodist Chapel in East Anglia. The building is being reconfigured to incorporate more social space, and the organ is superfluous to requirements. The organ must be removed before 1st January 2012 as builders will start conversion work immediately after that date.

Builder:    SE Gilks, Organ Builder of Peterborough.
Date:   Circa 1956.
NPOR:    G01127

The organ is in excellent condition, having been examined, tuned and maintained in half-yearly visits until 2009. The organ has not been played regularly since 2009, and so there are one or two silent pedal pipes, but no issues that would not be readily overcome by maintenance.

The organ is very compact, and could be installed in a space about 10'x10'. It would be suitable for installation as a home organ or in a small chapel.

Disposition

Pedal:       Compass C-F   30 keys.
      Bourdon 16'
      Coupler:   Manual - Pedal.
Single manual:   Compass C-F3   54 keys.
      Diapason 8', Dulciana 8', Lieblich Gedakt 8', Principal 4', Fifteenth 2'
      Coupler:   Super octave.

Most of the manual division is enclosed, and there is a single swell pedal controlling the swell shutters.
The front fascia pipes are part of the diapason 8' rank, whilst the fascia pipes on each side are non-speaking.

Terms & Conditions

The organ is available for collection from the building, with the receiver of the organ bearing all costs and responsibility for safe removal. The receiver must make good any damage to the building caused during removal.
Whilst there is to be no charge for the organ, the church would be grateful to receive a donation from the receiver.
