Recovering Kimball Electramatic Plastic Pneumatics
By William Frisk

I need to recover the pneumatics on an early Kimball Electramatic
electronic organ. The rubber cloth was originally glued with
Duco Cement but I wonder if a different product may be better?

The pneumatics are plastic and rather small. I imagine once the
instrument is working it will be just like Barry Morgan playing
"Star Wars" or other hits of 50 years ago played at the mall on
a weekend.

Thank you to anyone who has already accomplished this task.
