There seems to be some sort of leather check valve which doesn't seem to be working properly and I'm sure that that will only be the start of the troubleshooting.but, those will be questions for another day. Since someone might be wondering, my questions should mostly be about air (vacuum) and bellows since I've already determined that the left foot pump isn't working properly (compared to the right) and there's hardly any sound coming out of the organ. Would this be the only model made for this year? Are the number of stops enough of an model identification to ask specific questions about repair? My second question is how to identify the model of my organ. I couldn't seem to find anything else online to help out although there is a mention of some sort of serial number search engine that didn't seem to have any web address attached to it. The case style of the organ is in fitting with an Edwardian home, and is plain without the very fancy woodwork of the Victorian era.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. I am first seeking information on the age and model of my organ in order to ask some sensible questions further down the road. I chose this forum since the members seem quite knowledgeable and the forum is pretty extensive. This is my first post as I have come across an Estey reed organ that I became interested in repairing.
