Bargain church organ costs man more than it saves
Topeka shopper Bob Wilcox bought a $2500 pipe organ for $1 at Grace Episcopal Cathedral’s white elephant sale. He faced moving, weight issues, and $2,000 in renovations to store the organ in his two story garage. He hired four moving vans, built new footings, and enlisted organ instructor Max Elsberry to help assemble the pipes and console. He still hopes to get it playable by year’s end despite ongoing costs.
