John Smith Busker Organ Center Boards

Bruce,  You could build the two bellows onto one center board.
I recently recovered a small organette with this arrangement.
Believe me, you want two center boards.  It makes covering a whole
lot easier.

Be careful when you drill the air holes.  As I recall I ran into
some given dimension problems.  Make sure you leave enough room for
that 1/2" piece that goes around the edge.  Please feel free to
write if you have questions.  My version turned out pretty good.
